- STEP 9Once the cake has cooked leave it to cool in the tin for at least 15 - 20 minutes then put it onto a cooling tray to completely cool
- STEP 10Now for the icing, Add the icing to a clean bowl, then add the water a bit at a time until it is not to stiff but not too runny. Then drizzle the icing over the cake and enjoy!
