- 1 vanilla sponge cake

- 200g unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups icing sugar
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 Tbsp orange juice

- 100g milk chocolate, melted
- 80g white chocolate, melted
This cake is a fun way to celebrate any occasion - the kids will love it!
1 Cut cake in half horizontally, smear with jam and reassemble. Beat butter, icing sugar, cocoa, vanilla and juice in a mixer on high speed for 4 minutes or until light and creamy.
2 Ice cake with the butter cream and refrigerate for 5 minutes. Cut an 8cm hole in the cake's centre using a long sharp knife; fill with snakes and coins.
3 Line the inside of a mixing bowl just larger than the cake with aluminium foil, then freeze for 10 minutes. Smear melted dark chocolate over the foil until set. Carefully invert bowl and remove chocolate-lined foil. Slowly peel off foil and put chocolate shell over cake. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
4 Decorate chocolate shell with Smarties, using melted milk chocolate to stick them on. Write 'Happy Birthday' in white chocolate, on top of cake. Serve with a wooden mallet.
