A star for a star


I made this cake for a star person. It was a raspberry and white chocolate chip cake and tasted delicious, however it was trickier than I first thought. I had a new silicone star cake tine which I really wanted to use, and a new recipe too. The fan in the oven had broken previously but instead of waiting for the repair man I decided to bake anyway, using the oven on the conventional setting. I made the cake using buttermilk as I find it makes the texture of the finished cake to be scrummy. However, not really knowing how long the cake would take in an oven I am not used too, mixed with a runnier than normal cake mixture meant the top of the cake cooked a lot quicker than the middle and the cooking time turned out to be a bit of a nightmare. In the end though the cake was delicious and the recipient loved it.
