Now for the frosting. 75g organic, unsalted butter 75g organic cream cheese 175g icing sugar Quarter of a teaspoon of Madagascan vanilla essence. Two finely chopped walnuts - to sprinkle on our finished cake. Introduce butter and cream cheese to medium mixing bowl. Aerate the icing sugar into the bowl. Introduce the vanilla. Entice together with a wooden spoon. We are endeavouring to produce a soft, creamy texture. Taking a serrated knife, divide the cake in half, horizontally. Using a palette knife smooth about a third of the frosting onto the exposed surface. Reunite the separated halves. Smooth another third of frosting onto the top of the cake. Smooth the remaining frosting onto the side of the cake. Finally sprinkle with the finely chopped nuts. Place on Royal Doulton for serving. A delicious cake to enjoy with your Earl Grey.
