1
Preheat oven to 150 degrees celcius/300u00b0F.
2
Wipe a little butter around the inside of the bowl and tin, then line with greaseproof/baking paper.
3
Sift the flour into a mixing bowl.
4
Add the sugar, butter, eggs and milk.
5
Mix until it looks pale and creamy, using electric mixer or wooden spoon.
6
Divide proportionately between the pudding bowl and the tin and smooth the tops.
7
Bake for approximately 1 1/2 hours (If you stick a skewer into the centre it should come out clean).
8
Remove from oven, turn them out and gently remove baking paper. Allow to cool completely.
9
Mix the icing ingredients well.
10
If desired, carefully slice both cakes in half, horizontally and fill the middle with icing. (Cover and save the rest of the icing until later).
11
Place upside-down pudding bowl cake on top of round cake, with icing between them.
12
Wrap in foil or cling film and place in freezer for 20 mins or fridge for an hour. (this will firm up the cake to allow you to cut the hole for Barbie's legs, and create less crumbs when icing the cake).
13
Use a long knife(eg bread knife) to cut a hole in the centre of the cake, long enough for Barbie's legs, up to just below her waist.
14
Wrap Barbie's legs in cling wrap up to her waist and insert her into the hole in the cake.
15
Colour and flavour the buttercream and/or fondant icing as desired.
16
Ice a thin layer of buttercream all over the cake. Place in fridge for 15 minutes.
17
Smooth another layer of buttercream OR roll out the fondant icing and drape around the cake, imitating the folds of a dress. If using buttercream, you can neaten it by dippng a knife in hot water and smoothing it over the icing.
18
Pipe buttercream or wrap a piece of fondant icing around Barbie's torso.
19
Embellish as you please!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
