Christmas Tree Cake

This has become part of our Christmas tradition and I love making it in my Christmas Bundt tins for the girls at work. From the must have christmas cook book Nigella Christmas. But truthfully it's divine and a cake Feyez enjoys for breakfast. I can't help but smile when I make this cake! Fantastic for elevenses anytime of year.

225g soft butter
300g golden caster sugar
6 eggs
350g plain flour
1/2tsp bicarbonate of soda
250ml plain fat-free yogurt
4tsp vanilla extract
1tbsp icing sugar.

Grease a 2.5l Bundt tin and heat the oven to 180c

Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time with a tablespoon of flour and best in well at each addition. Fold in the remaining flour, yogurt and vanilla.

Pop into your very well greased Bundt tin and top it into a tray in the oven for 45 minutes. Check the cake with a skewer in the middle of the cake. If its clean its ready. Leave in tin for 10 minutes and then turn out onto wire rack and leave to cool. Pop it onto a plate once totally cool and sprinkle liberally with icing sugar.
