Baking

Chocolate and Orange Marble Cakes with a Nutella centre and Mint and Chocolate Marble Cakes with a White Chocolate centre.

Recipe here

These cakes turned out so well! The recipe is intended for a loaf cake, however, we adapted it to make our “Tiger” cakes during our Jungle themed week. I added some orange food colouring and orange essence to the vanilla cake batter to add to the “Tiger” look which was great fun. I also added a little dollop of Nutella into the middle of each cake before baking which was brilliant.

I also used this recipe to create our “Hulk” cakes during superhero week. I swapped any orange for mint flavouring and added green food colouring to the vanilla batter to give it the “Hulk” look. I don’t think the colour was as impressive for these cakes as it was for the the “Tiger” cakes, but it was good fun. I also used white chocolate pieces for the centre rather than spread which didn’t work as well.
