Instructions:
Start by preheating your oven to 180°C. Grease and line a 20cm round cake tin with baking paper. In a bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Sift in the flour and cocoa powder and fold into the mixture until combined. Pour the cake batter into the prepared tin and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool before turning it out onto a plate.
Roll out the fondant icing and gently press it onto the cake. Use a sharp knife to trim away any excess fondant. Decorate the cake with candles and sprinkles, or use a rolling pin to roll out some more fondant icing and cut out shapes to decorate the cake with.
