  2. Beat with an electric mixer using the whisk attachment on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  3. Divide the batter evenly between the 3 x 5inch (13cm) round cake tins and cover with foil.

bake

  1. Place the 3 cake tins in the preheated over at 170°C (160°C fan forced), then remove foil after 20 minutes baking time.
  2. Cook uncovered for a further 5 minutes until a skewer inserted into the cake centre comes out clean.

  1. To prepare frosting, add room temperature butter (or non-dairy spread) to a medium mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer on high speed for 2 minutes until pale and creamy.
  2. Slowly add frosting mix, 1 tbsp at a time, beating on medium for a further 3–4 minutes until frosting is smooth.
  3. If using butter, add the full cream milk and beat on high for an additional 2 minutes until frosting is aerated and doubled in volume.
  4. Using a spatular, spread a thin layer of frosting between the cake layers before applying the frosting on the top and lightly to the sides of the cake.
  5. If your layers have slightly domed tops, simply slice off with a sharp knife to even the layers before applying frosting. Scrape and smooth the frosting on the cake sides with a spatula.

  2. Finely chop 100 g of Noshu 95% Sugar Free Choc or White Choc Baking Chips, place in a bowl and slowly pour over the hot cream.
