Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 large bar white chocolate (500g at least)
1 Bottle red food colouring
a vast number of red smarties (or M&M's if
you cant get thing)
Icing (frosting for you USA types)
1 tub strawberry ice cream
A set of plastic vampire teeth
Dead simple this. Make up the sponge mix but add loads of red food
colouring to get the mixture nice and blood like. Next, add about 400g
of the chocolate (melted of course) to the sponge mix, adding more
food colouring if the mixture seems to be getting too pinky. Allow to
cook for the normal length of time. Make up quite a bit of icing in
the meantime (adding the final 100g of chocolate to this) and colour
this red also.
When the cake has cooked, allow to cool for about 1 hour and then cut
in 1/2. taking the top half, pour the icing over and allow to set
pretty randomly, but place the vampire teeth in the icing where they
will cause maximum effect (in the centre is usually a good bet).
Before you serve this cake, place a generous layer of the ice-cream on
top of the bottom layer and replace the top. serve with extra scoops
of the ice cream and strawberry sauce.
