Iced fairy cakes
Teach 8-14 year olds how to make fairy cakes and guarantee a fun kitchen activity

INGREDIENTS :

    • 100g caster sugar
    • 100g very soft butter
    • 100g self-raising flour
    • 2 eggs
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • 200g very soft butter
    • 200g icing sugar
    • food colouring, sprinkles, marshmallows etc

DIRECTION:

  • Ask a grown-up helper to turn the oven on to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put a paper case in hole of a 12-hole bun tin.

  • Put the sugar and butter (it must be soft or you won’t be able to mix it properly) in a bowl and mix it together. Sift in the flour.

  • Break the eggs into a separate bowl (spoon out any bits of shell that fall in) and add them to the bowl with the vanilla. Mix everything together.

  • Divide between the cases using a spoon, scraping it off with a knife. Ask a grown-up helper to put the tray in the oven for 20 minutes.

  • Mix the butter and icing sugar to make a creamy icing. Add colouring, if you like. Push an icing nozzle into an icing bag, then scoop in the icing.

  • Let the cakes cool completely in the tray. Pipe icing onto each cake and decorate with marshmallows or sprinkles, or whatever you like.
