Mother's Day 2025 is just around the corner, and what better way to show your mum just how much you care than with a sweet surprise? Let us help you make a mouth-watering cake to bring a smile to your mother’s face!
Start by creating the ganache by heating a cup of heavy cream in a saucepan over low heat until it begins to simmer. Then, remove from heat and pour over the dark chocolate, allowing it to melt and infuse the cream with its rich, velvety texture. Next, you have to stir them together until smooth and glossy, then allow it to cool and set.
To start, get your oven ready at 180°C and prep your cake pans with a dash of grease and flour. Next, whip up a fluffy mixture of butter and sugar, beating in eggs and vanilla for an extra boost of flavour. Then, blend in your dry ingredients and milk in alternating swoops, finishing with a flourish of flour. Divide the batter between the pans, smooth out the tops, and let the oven work its magic for 25-30 minutes. Once cooled, bring the cake to life with a creamy frosting made by beating butter and powdered sugar into a smooth harmony. Finally, stack the cake layers, spreading frosting in between and on top, and voilà – your masterpiece is ready to impress!

Here is an easy-to-follow recipe to make a delicious cake at home for Mother's Day 2025.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour two 20cm (8 inch) round cake pans.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the frosting, beat the butter and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and beat until combined.
Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of frosting on top. Place the second layer on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining frosting.
