Baking a 3D Antarctic cake! This was a sweet collaboration between Alena, Yaowen, Lara, Jamey and me at the Antarctic Research Centre back in May 2021.

- 1 pack of oreos
- 120g butter
- 4 tbsp cocoa powder
- 200g sugar
- 200g butter
- 3 free-range eggs
- 200g self-rising flour
- 400g sugar
- 400g butter
- 400g self-rising flour
- 8 free-range eggs
- 2tbsp milk
- blue food colouring
- 400g sugar
- 150g butter
- 2-3tbsp hot water
- 1tsp vanilla essence
The cake layers were baked in separate tins and then assembled. A ~15cm diameter hole the shape of Antarctica was cut from the middle of the 25cm blue cake, and we fitted the choc brownie sediment inside. The blue ocean and white ice buttercream was then spread on top.
The ingredient list is not very precise, and I don't think everyone followed them exactly, so if you have more baking experience, definitely use your own judgement on this.
