Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons edible blue color

- 1 cup butter plus extra for greasing
- 1â…“ cups castor sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup buttermilk
- Cream cheese as required
- Colorful edible sprinkles for sprinkling
Instructions
Prepare the Baking Tin:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Grease a rectangular baking tin with butter and dust it with flour to prevent the cake from sticking.
Make the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and castor sugar using an electric beater until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully combined.
- Sift the flour and baking powder together, then gradually fold this mixture into the butter-egg mixture until well incorporated.
- Mix in the blue food color until the batter is evenly colored.
- Add the buttermilk and gently mix until the batter is smooth and uniform.
Bake the Cake:
- Pour the prepared batter into the greased and dusted baking tin, filling it about ¾ of the way.
- Place the tin in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool in the tin for a few minutes before demolding.
Cut and Decorate:
- Once cooled, carefully remove the crust of the cake using a serrated knife and cut the cake into small squares.
- Arrange the squares on a serving plate, and pipe a generous dollop of cream cheese onto each one.
- Sprinkle colorful edible sprinkles over the top for added decoration and fun!
Serve:
- Serve immediately to enjoy these delicious bites at their freshest!
