Halloween Sour Snot Bundt

For yesterday's Monster Mash cake club event, I tried a couple of different cakes but settled on one that tasted great, but looked utterly gruesome! This method can make even a plain cake look devilishly daring and has children shrieking at the sight of it! It's is a sour snot cake because of a sloppy secret ingredient... lemon curd.

Ingredients:

• 225g butter
• 450g golden caster sugar
• 4 medium eggs
• 350g plain flour
• 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 200ml thick vanilla yogurt (not the low fat type)
• 50ml lemon or lime curd
• 1 tsp lemon extract
• Green food colouring 

Method:

1. Grease and flour a regular sized bundt tin (2.4l, 10 cup, 10 inch). 
2. Soften the butter and then cream in the sugar in stages.
3. Add the eggs one at a time on a slow setting.
4. Add all the remaining dry ingredients to a large bowl.
5. Measure the yogurt, curd and extract in a jug. Give it a quick mix.
6. Sift in 1/3 of the dry ingredients with a good pea sized amount of green food gel (or a good glug of the liquid stuff...), followed by 1/2 of the liquid. Repeat until all the flour and liquid is used up. Fold it in gently...
7. Give the whole thing a quick mix for about 10 seconds or until well combined.
8. Spoon the mix into the prepared tin.
9. Bake at gas 3/160 C for about an hour and 15 minutes. 
10. It should be shrinking from the sides and a skewer should come out clean.

I decorated mine with a simple glace icing dyed green and tipped over the entire cake. This can of course be made in any colour too...
