Cough Cake

We affectionately call this Cough Cake in our house as it contains ingredients thought to soothe coughs.

My photos don’t do the cake justice, it really is Autumn on a plate. Oven temperatures vary, but to get the range of colours from yellow to orange to pink, you will need a hotter oven so the cake bursts through the crust rather than a lower temp that gives an even rise. Adjust your oven temp accordingly.

300g plain flour Icing ingredients

200g caster sugar 60g butter
