FRUIT LOOP CELEBRATION CAKE

Prep 1 hour | Cook 45 mins | Serves 12
Preheat oven to moderate, 180 C. Lightly grease two deep, 20-cm round cake pans. Line base with baking paper. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat 250 g softened butter, 1½ cups sugar and 2 tsps vanilla essence together until creamy. Add 4 eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, scraping down sides of the bowl. Lightly fold 4 cups sifted self-raising flour into creamed mixture alternately with 1⅓ cups milk, beginning and ending with flour. Spoon mixture evenly into prepared pans, smoothing top. Bake 40 to 45 mins until cooked when tested. Cool in pan 5 mins, before turning onto a wire rack to cool completely. Meanwhile, line an oven tray with baking paper. Melt 375 g bag of white chocolate melts. Spread onto tray and sprinkle with 1 cup Fruit Loops. Set aside 2 hours until set. Break into shards. Next, in a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat 500 g softened butter and 2 tsps vanilla essence together until pale. Gradually add 5 cups sifted icing sugar mixture with ½ cup milk, beating until fluffy. In a food processor, crush 4 cups Fruit Loops until coarse crumbs. Transfer 2 cups buttercream to a bowl. Stir crumbs through. Using a serrated knife, split cooled cakes horizontally. Place one half on a plate. Top with one-third of the plain buttercream. Top with remaining cakes and buttercream, leaving top plain. Ice top and sides of cake with remaining buttercream mixture. Press 1 cup extra Fruit Loops onto base of cake. Arrange shards on top.
