Monkey cake

Easy but effective birthday cake for the little ones (did this for my daughter last week)

The cake:

* 8oz flour

* 8oz sugar

* 8oz butter

* 4 eggs

        Cream into standard sponge mix

Then add 4oz of dark chocolate that's been melted, mixed with a few spoons of milk & allowed to cool.

Pour into 2 7" and 4 small round cake tins. Once cool cut the small circles down for the ears.

Decorating:

I used tan coloured fondant for the face & ear inners. Then piped chocolate buttercream with a grass nozzle to make the fur. Add chocolate buttons for eyes & give him a smile.

This fed 12 hungry adults with a few crumbs left over
