Get create in the kitchen..while having a hoot of a time.
200 g caster sugar
200 g margarine softened
140 g self-raising flour
0.5 tsp baking powder
4 medium eggs
100 ml double cream
a knob of butter
4 tbsp Cadbury Bournville Cocoa Powder
100 g Cadbury Bournville Dark Chocolate
2 Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate Buttons
1 bag of Cadbury Dairy Milk White Chocolate Buttons
1 bag of Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate Buttons
1 Cadbury Flake
1 Packet of The Natural Confectionery Co.Party Mix
Preheat the oven to 180C fan/160C and line your cake tin with greaseproof paper. Cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Slowly add the eggs with 2 tbsps of flour, then add the remaining flour, baking powder and cocoa powder.
Place in the centre of the oven for 30 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean. Place on a cooling rack for five minutes. Make the icing. Melt the chocolate and cream together in a bowl over a pan of simmering water, Once melted, remove from the heat and add a knob of butter, stirring until combined. Leave to cool and thicken up until you have a good spreading consistency.Use a serrated knife to cut out an owl shape. Use the left-over sponge to create two wings and place on either side. Add a layer of icing until the whole cake is fully covered. Begin by placing two giant buttons as eyes, then two white chocolate buttons for the pupils. Create a beak by using a Cadbury’s Maynards mix-up raspberry jelly.
Using your fingers, crush up the chocolate flakes and use to cover the wings, the ears and around the owl’s face to create a feathery look. Finally, place layers of milk and white chocolate buttons for the owl’s belly. Slice and enjoy!
