- Check that knife comes out clean. Put on wire rack to cool.
- For the icing you can use around 175g icing sugar and slowly add water while mixing until you have enough to cover the cake. If you add too much water just add more icing sugar until the correct consistency then decorate. Spread jam in the middle of the cake.
