Pre-heat your oven to 180°c (160°c for fan assisted oven or Gas Mark 4) and a 9"x12" inch baking tin with greaseproof paper. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, cream together the margarine and sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at time, ensuring each is mixed through before adding the next.

Step 4

Sift in the flour and gently fold to create a batter.

Step 5

Transfer the batter to your pre-lined tin and bake in your pre-heated oven for 30-40 minutes until risen, golden and a skewer inserted comes out clean.

Step 6

Leave to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 7

Once your cake has cooled completely; in a bowl, mix the icing sugar with a few teaspoons of boiling water, adding a little water at time until you have a thick pouring consistency. Pour the icing onto your cake, using a spoon to guide it to the edges. Finish with some rainbow sprinkles.
