Absolutely amazing!Made it for my friends 30th and everyone loved it. I also added a chocolate drizzle and hokey pokey on top (mainly for aesthetic) which worked really well.

Love this cake! It's my go-to birthday cake, it's so versatile and it impresses every time! Just a question - can I use this recipe as a sheet cake? Will it rise enough?

Method
Preheat oven to 180°C bake. Grease and line 2 x 20cm round cake tins (6cm deep).
Sift Edmonds Standard Grade Flour, cocoa and Edmonds Baking Powder into a large bowl. Mix in Chelsea White Sugar. Set aside. Melt Tararua Butter and Chelsea Golden Syrup together. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, Meadow Fresh Original Milk, Edmonds Baking Soda and vanilla.
Add the Tararua Butter and Meadow Fresh Original Milk mixtures to dry ingredients and beat to combine. Divide equally between the prepared tins and bake for 40-50 minutes, until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Cool in tins for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Chocolate Buttercream Icing : Beat Tararua Butter with an electric mixer until pale. Sift in Chelsea Icing Sugar and cocoa powder. Add Meadow Fresh Original Milk and vanilla essence and beat slowly until incorporated. Increase speed and beat for a few minutes until smooth and creamy.
Trim and level the top of each cake, then cut each cake in half horizontally to form 4 layers. Place first layer on a board or plate. Spread buttercream icing evenly on top of the bottom layer and place the second layer on top. Repeat with the third layer. Place the fourth and final cake layer on top upside-down, so that the bottom of the cake layer becomes the top of the cake.
Coat top and sides of cake with a thin layer of buttercream icing. Place in fridge to chill for 30 minutes, then coat with a second layer of buttercream. Decorate as desired.
