Friday Cake Bake 2020

Regular readers of this blog will remember that every Friday I used to put up a post of something I had baked and usually the recipe too.  Today I decided to do one again!  I have almost come to the end of my flour now - just eking it out as much as I can.  I purchased the mini eggs well in advance of the lockdown and it is one purchase that I am happy to have made.

Iced Fairy Cakes

5oz (150g)  self-raising flour
4oz (100g) soft margarine
4oz (100g) caster sugar
2 eggs
Few drops of vanilla essence

4oz (100g) icing sugar 
2 tbsp (approx) warm water

mini eggs or any other edible decoration

Makes 20

Preheat oven 180C 350F Gas Mark 4

Stand 20 small paper cases (not muffin cases) onto a large baking sheet.  Put the first 5 ingredients into a large bowl and beat for 2 minutes with a wooden spoon until a smooth dropping consistency.

Place teaspoonfuls of mixture between the cases.  Bake for 20 minutes until lightly golden brown.

When done, place on a wire rack until cold.  Mix together the icing sugar and water to make a thick paste and drop spoonfuls onto the cakes.  Decorate as you wish.

Happy Easter Weekend!
