Classic birthday cake from One Tin Bakes: Sweet and Simple Traybakes, Pies, Bars and Buns (page 30) by Edd Kimber

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    Can substitute clear honey for golden syrup.

    Cake was way too dense and flat for the volume of fluffy frosting. I did not take this to a party as intended. The flavor was fine.

    Is there an error in this recipe? It suggests adding most of the mixed cake to the pan and leveling out and then adding dry ingredients and sour cream by alternating. I went ahead and added everything in the mixer and then scraping into the pan.

    I found the cake was dry and the frosting was overpowering, too much of it, and sickly.

    The chocolate frosting was fabulous. The cake was dry.
