Beat with an electric hand whisk or freestanding mixer (if you are a lucky bunny to own one) until well combined, light and smooth. Stop the mixer periodically to scrap any mixture off the side of the bowl, add the milk to loosen if the mixture is too stiff. Spoon the mixture into the cases and pop into the oven for 20 to 22 minutes, until firm on top. Leave to cool before icing. Buttercream Icing: Beat together the softened butter and icing sugar until super light and fluffy, adding the vanilla essence half way through. Use a large star piping nozzle and bag to pipe buttercream mountains on top of each cake. Decorate with mini marshmallows and chocolate flakes.
