We chose this recipe because it’s easy to make but is really delicious and we decided to theme it as a beach because we like swimming in the sea and summer season.

- 225 g of flour
- 225 g of sugar

Method
- Firstly, break the eggs and divide the whites from the yolks. Put each one in a separate bowl.
- In a bowl, mix the yolks with the sugar until the mixture becomes white and almost doubles its volumen. Add vanilla extract to the mixture.
- Sieve the flour and the baking powder onto the mixture, mix well and let rest.
- Now, in a separate bowl, beat the whites until it forms stiff peaks.
- We mix both bowls and beat until the mixture is
homogeneous. If you want to add chocolate chips, this is the moment. - We grease the oven mold with some butter and bake the cake at 180 ºC for 40 minutes.
Decoration:
- Make a chocolate cream by cutting chocolate chunks, adding milk and put in the microwave until the chocolate melts, then mix well.
- Pour the chocolate cream mover the cake and put the inflated oat over it.
- Mold the fondant so it becomes a plain mass and put it so it looks like the sea.
- Finally, add marshmallows as the swimmers.
