Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C and butter a man-shaped mould.
2. Whisk the eggs and sugar until pale, about 4 minutes.
3. Add the melted butter, vanilla and milk, then fold in the flour, baking powder and salt.
4. Pour the batter into the mould and bake for 25 minutes, until a knife inserted comes out dry.
5. Let it cool for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.
6. Mix the icing sugar with the lukewarm water and colouring to make a smooth, fairly thick icing.
7. Coat the cake with the icing and decorate with sweets and liquorice to draw the face and buttons.
