4. Divide the batter equally between the two tins and bake in the centre of the oven for around 30 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Keep and eye on them so they don’t over bake, but don’t open the door to check until the cakes as been in for at least 25 minutes or they may sink.

7. To assemble: Place the first layer of the cake on your serving plate and spread a few tablespoons of icing on top using a palette knife. Top this with another layer and keep repeating icing and cake until all layers are assembled. Spread the remaining icing on the top and sides of the cake and smooth out as you go.
