thank you. Are you certain about the 750 grams of butter? that's about 3 large cups.  but heck why not ;0

cheers

I've made this recipe several times (and gf'd it too) and it's excellent. Yes it's 750g butter and sugar.. My only issue is; uk legislation re food colouring (yet again and sorry for keep banging on about it..!) But you can see here precisely what we have to deal with. Those grey edges are a nightmare as are the wasted cake. Makes me so jealous to see your easy rainbow cakage... but then- I rather my kids weren't hyperactive I suppose. 

well, what can I say!

I made it, it looked and tasted wonderful. Thanks so much.

No cake wasted - the cutoffs make great truffle balls  when crumbled and mixed with melted chocolate.

 Add little nut pieces to the mix. or dried fruit.

Make little balls.

Roll them in dedicated coconut. or grated chocolate.

  You can also pop them on to lollipop sticks for a pretty display.

Stick them in the fridge to firm up. 

Love and blessings, Paula.
