Instructions
- Preheat the oven for 10 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius, and alongside that line the cake pan with parchment paper.
- Take a large bowl, start adding dry ingredients that include milk powder, refined flour, baking powder, baking soda and sugar. Combine them all together, leaving no lumps behind.
- Add butter to the mixture and mix well. Now, it is time to add lukewarm milk to it.
- Start adding milk to the dry ingredients. Make sure, the milk is not overflowing and the batter remains not too thick, not too thin.
- Add vanilla extract to the mixture, beat the mixture for two minutes, cover the batter and leave it aside for 15 minutes.
- Now pour the batter into the cake pan and dab it to the surface. Once the cake is settled down, no air bubbles are visible, keep the cake in the oven.
- Bake it for 25-30 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius.
- Until the cake is baked, take the whipped cream and beat it nicely. Add sugar to it and vanilla extract and mix it with the help of an electric mixer until fluffy and smooth.
- Cover the mixture and keep it aside.
- Now take the cake out and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes.
- Take the cake out of the cake pan. Now take a part of whipped cream and apply it at the sides and at the top.
- Level the cream with a leveller but do not overdose the cake with cream. Now, add the edible photo print to the cake.
- The print can be a cartoon, a person or anything you like. Take the back paper off of the edible photo print and smoothly apply it to the cake. Paste it in the centre, so that it covers the whole cake properly.
- Now take the part of the whipped cream kept aside. Add the food colour of your choice and beat it again for a minute or so.
- Attach the nozzle of your choice to the disposable cone and add cream to it. Add designs to the sides of the cake with the nozzle.
- Now, if you want, you can make a chocolate ganache to adorn the sides or use chocolate shavings and choco chips as well.
