If you\u2019re looking for perfection then you might be better off elsewhere, lol. I like simple family recipes that taste great and don&#8217;t take hours. Stick around if that&#8217;s your thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you\u2019re looking for a foolproof chocolate cake recipe that always works and produces a delicious cake every time, then you\u2019re in the right place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Perfect Chocolate Birthday Cake<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>My kids much prefer chocolate cake to any other kind, and this is my most requested cake for their birthdays. My son\u2019s birthday is coming up this week so this is what I\u2019ll be making. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This recipe combines an easy chocolate sponge with a delicious chocolate buttercream icing, and you can make it as simple or as decorative as you like. On past occasions I\u2019ve done loads of simple things like poured chocolate sprinkles on top or placed white chocolate buttons round the edge. It doesn\u2019t need much, to be honest.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"510\" height=\"510\" src=\"https:\/\/almosttheweekend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/chocolate-birthday-cake-rainbows-unicorns.jpg\" alt=\"Chocolate cake with rainbow and unicorn candles, smarties and chocolate finger decorations\" class=\"wp-image-665\" srcset=\"https:\/\/almosttheweekend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/chocolate-birthday-cake-rainbows-unicorns.jpg 510w, https:\/\/almosttheweekend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/chocolate-birthday-cake-rainbows-unicorns-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/almosttheweekend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/chocolate-birthday-cake-rainbows-unicorns-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/almosttheweekend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/chocolate-birthday-cake-rainbows-unicorns-440x440.jpg 440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id587_98555d-43 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id587_98555d-43 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id587_98555d-43 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id587_98555d-43 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id587_98555d-43 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id587_98555d-43 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id587_98555d-43 alignnone has-theme-palette8-background-color kt-row-has-bg wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column587_87e883-d6 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column587_87e883-d6 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column587_87e883-d6 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column587_87e883-d6 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column587_87e883-d6 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column587_87e883-d6 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column587_87e883-d6{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column587_87e883-d6 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column587_87e883-d6 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column587_87e883-d6\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading587_356647-f3, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading587_356647-f3[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading587_356647-f3\"]{font-size:var(--global-kb-font-size-sm, 0.9rem);font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading587_356647-f3 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading587_356647-f3[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading587_356647-f3\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading587_356647-f3 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading587_356647-f3\"><em>Almost The Weekend is reader-supported.

This is what I usually do for a birthday cake, and it never fails. Kids love it and it looks impressive, but only involves sticking things on and no artistry is required. Winner!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For older kids who&#8217;ve outgrown the rainbow look, swap the Smarties for Maltesers, Minstrels, or any other favourite sweets.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"510\" height=\"386\" src=\"https:\/\/almosttheweekend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/chocolate-birthday-cake-smarties.jpg\" alt=\"Chocolate birthday cake with candles, decorated with chocolate fingers and smarties\" class=\"wp-image-651\" srcset=\"https:\/\/almosttheweekend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/chocolate-birthday-cake-smarties.jpg 510w, https:\/\/almosttheweekend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/chocolate-birthday-cake-smarties-300x227.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How many chocolate fingers does it take to go round the cake?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The recipe below calls for <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/43AKXEA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored\">20cm \/ 8in diameter cake tins<\/a><\/strong>, so these amounts are based on a cake that size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To decorate like this, you\u2019ll need <strong>3 boxes of Cadbury&#8217;s chocolate fingers<\/strong> (it take about 2.5 boxes to go round with some left over for the chef) and <strong>2-3 large sharing bags of Smarties<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All you do is cover the outside of the cake liberally with buttercream, then carefully stick the chocolate fingers round the edge and then pour the smarties on the top.
