Quick and delicious themed cake

Beat the margarine and sugar until light and fluffy, then stir in the eggs and salt. Mix the flour and baking powder and stir in. Finally, add the lemon flavoring. Pour the batter onto a baking sheet (30 cm x 40 cm) lined with baking paper and smooth it out. Bake the sheet in a preheated oven at 170°C (top/bottom heat) for about 30 minutes. In the meantime, make the buttercream. Beat the butter until light and fluffy, gradually adding the powdered sugar. Add hot water and continue beating vigorously. Finally, stir in the grated lemon zest. Chill the buttercream. Enlarge and print out the Bart Simpson coloring template (available via any major online search engine). Place the template on the cooled dough and trace the outlines with a sharp knife. Do the same for the individual facial parts (eyes, nose, mouth, ears, etc.). Remove the template and cut out the facial contours. For coloring the buttercream and final decoration: Prepare 1 tube of yellow food coloring for the face, a few drops of red coloring for the mouth, and about 4 licorice twists (split). Color a small portion of the cream (about 2 tablespoons) with red food coloring for the mouth. Set aside another portion of the uncolored buttercream for the eyes. Color the remaining buttercream with 1 tube of yellow food coloring until you get the desired shade (bright yellow, pale yellow). Now cover the cake with the buttercream. First, cover the eyes with uncolored cream, then the mouth with the red buttercream, and then spread the yellow buttercream over the entire face. Finally, split the licorice twists and decorate all the outlines with them. Refrigerate the cake until ready to serve. Tip: If you like, you can also fill the cake with a cream and sour cream filling.
