Ingredients
Method
- 3 x 260 g Woolworths Madeira butter cake loaves
- For the fondant icing:
- 800 g Woolworths white chocolate drops
- 800 g icing sugar, sifted
- 1 t vanilla extract
- 3⁄4 cup hot water
- food colouring (optional)
Method
Ingredients
1. Cut the crusts off the Madeira loaves so that you’re left with a rectangular sponge. Cut into cubes and arrange on a wire rack placed over a baking tray. Pour over the fondant icing in different colours and allow to set before serving.
2. To make the icing, melt the white chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water. In a large bowl, combine the icing sugar, vanilla and water to form a thick paste. Whisk in the white chocolate and food colouring if using.
