Place cake ingredients, except the boiling water, into a large mixing bowl and mix until it becomes smooth and well combined.
Now, add the boiling water to the mixture, a little at a time, and keep mixing until it becomes smooth again. (The cake mixture will now be very liquid in texture.)
Put the mixture in baking utensil and bake in the oven for 25-35 minutes. You can check for the right time as when a skewer inserted into center of the cake, it comes out clean.
Now, remove the cake from the braking utensil and let it cool fully cool down before doing the frosting.

Decorate the cake with the frosting using a palette knife and if you wish, use some edible pearls and cream flowers to give it a fantastic look ! And enjoy !
