SUNNY'S EASY S'MORES FUNNEL CAKE

Steps:

• For the funnel cake: Whisk together the pancake mix with as much water as is instructed for 2 cups of dry mix in a large bowl. Stir in the sugar, graham cracker crumbs and just a tad more water to make the batter slightly runnier than pancake batter. Rest batter for 10 minutes.
• For the cream: Beat the marshmallow cream, heavy cream and vanilla together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth and easy to drizzle. Refrigerate until needed.
• Add 1 inch oil to a large pan with straight sides and bring the oil to 365 degrees F. Line a plate with a paper towel.
• Transfer batter to a funnel, snipped plastic bag or squeeze bottle and carefully pour batter into the pan in circling motions, overlapping a bit to create structure. (If using a funnel, control the flow by ladling the batter into the funnel and holding your finger over the tip as necessary.) Fry until golden on the bottom, about 30 seconds, then flip and cook just a bit more. Remove to lined plate.
• Drizzle the cream over the top of the funnel cake and finish by using a knife or peeler to shave chocolate over the top. Sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs.

SUNSHINE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Grease two loose-bottomed 20cm/8in sandwich cake tins and line the bases with baking paper.
• Place the flour, sugar and baking powder in a large bowl. Beat the eggs in a separate bowl, then add the oil, carrot, banana and courgettes to the eggs and stir. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk together using an electric whisk until combined.
• Divide the mixture between the two tins and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until well risen and lightly golden. Leave to cool in the tins for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely. The cakes will shrink back a little when cooling.
• To make the icing, place the butter and cream cheese in a large bowl and whisk with an electric whisk until combined. Add the vanilla and half of the icing sugar and whisk again until combined. Add the remaining icing sugar and whisk until light and fluffy.
• Spread half of the icing over one cake. Sandwich the cakes together, then spread the remaining icing on the top and swirl. Arrange dried banana slices in a ring or spiral pattern on top of the cake. Cut into slices to serve.
