- Preheat the oven to 180 C / Gas 4 and line your desired tray (any tray works well but cooking time will very depending on size).
- Add all the ingredients to a bowl and mix using electric whisk.
- Using spatula scrape cake mixture into tray and smooth out.
- Place in the oven for around 30 minutes or until it starts to come away from the edges and is springy to the touch. Use a cocktail stick to test whether it is cooked right through.
- Once cooked turn out onto a cooling rack and leave to cook, whilst preparing the icing.
- Sift icing sugar into a bowl and add a few drops of food colouring and water until you reach the desired consistency. It's much easier to spread if it thick enough to coat the back of the spoon.
- Spread all over the top of the cake and add the sugar balls or any other decoration. Leave to set, cut into around 20 pieces and enjoy!
