M&M’S® Bunnies vanilla sheet cake
Ingredients
• baking margarine, softened 200g
• caster sugar 200g
• large eggs 4
• milk 30ml
• vanilla extract 2tsp
• self-raising flour 200g
• icing sugar, sifted 150g
• unsalted butter, softened 75g
• M&M’S® Bunnies, roughly chopped 2
Method
Step 1
Heat the oven to 180ºC/160ºC fan/gas 4. Grease and line a 26 x 22cm baking tin with baking paper.
Step 2
Using an electric whisk, beat together the margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually whisk in the eggs, milk and 1 tsp vanilla extract until combined, then stir in the self-raising flour.
Step 3
Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake in the oven for 25-35 mins until golden in colour. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the tin.
Step 4
To make the icing, beat together the icing sugar, butter and the remaining vanilla extract until smooth. You may need to add a splash of hot water to loosen.
Step 5
Remove the cake from the tin, then spread over the buttercream icing, top with the M&M’S® Bunnies and serve.
