Princess cake

Hi there,

I'm back! After two weeks of no internet! Internet in Australia is really bad but, I'm not giving up!  And what is a better way to celebrate that then a pink cake?
So what do you need for this princess cake?
400 grams of flour
5 eggs
450 grams of sugar
300 grams of butter room temperature
Juice of half a lemon
3 drops off red coloring
Be aware this is a firm cake, but it is very delicious!
Start with mixing everything except the coloring and the lemon juice in a big bowl. Mix it together with the mixer till it is smooth. Then add the coloring and lemon juice mix this with a big spoon. I always use a wooden one. Now the coloring is really out there! It will fluorescent pink. No worries it will fade in the oven. Put the mixture in the cake tin in a preheated oven at 170 degrees for 45 minutes. Always check with a fork  if the cake is ready. If the fork comes out clean it is done.
The cake is in de oven so there is time to do a little extra. I made a pomegranate toffee. Very easy. Put a small pan on the stove on low heat. Put 100 grams of butter in let this melt. Add the juice
of half a lemon, and 100 grams of sugar mix this all together. If the mixture is a little thin add a teaspoon of flour to make it thicker. If this is thick, it should have the same consistency as gravy, it's done. Add the pomogranate pits and mix this together. Get the cake out of the oven and let it cool of. Cut into pieces and drizzle the toffee over the cake! The princess cake is done!

Enjoy!
Love the kitchenprincess!
