The Cake Sale is tomorrow!!

As the Cake Sale is tomorrow, a wonderful recipe from the Domestic Goddess herself, Nigella Lawson, will definately hit the spot.

Nigella's Fabulous Fairy Cakes

You Will Need:
125g unsalted butter, softened
125g caster sugar
125g self-raising flour
half teaspoon vanilla extract
2-3 tablespoons milk
12 bun muffin tin lined with 12 muffin papers

What To Do:
(Preheat oven to 200 degrees C/Gas mark 6)

1. Put all the ingredients, except for the milk, in a food processor and blitz till smooth.
2. Pulse processor while adding milk, to make a soft dropping consistency.
3. Spoon in equal measures of mixture into the muffin cases.
4. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until fairy cakes are golden on top.
5. Remove and cool before icing and decorating.

A variety of ready-made icing and decorations can be bought from your local supermarket or Fords in Oakham do an excellent range of cake decorations. (Nigella didn't write that bit, we did!) Nigella suggests that you cut off any mounded tops to your fairy cakes once they're cool. It will be much easier to ice and decorate on a flat surface than one that's pointy.

Enjoy.... and save some for us!!
