Ingredients

  • 100 g softened butter
  • 100 g caster sugar
  • 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 small eggs
  • 100 g self-raising flour
  • Orange food colouring (as much as needed to get your desired colour)
Topping:
  • 130 g icing sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons milk
  • black food colouring (or black cocoa powder)
  • Few Tablespoons Halloween cake sprinkles

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your oven to 160℃ (140℃ for fan ovens) and line a cupcake tin with 12 fairy cake cases (mini cupcake cases).
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until soft and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. Mix in the flour and the eggs, a little bit at a time, until you have a smooth, thick cake batter.
  4. Stir in the orange food colouring.
  5. Divide the cake mix equally between your cases and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Topping
  1. In a medium-sized bowl, mix the icing sugar and milk together, then stir in the black food colouring or black cocoa powder.
  2. Use a teaspoon to place some icing on top of each fairy cake then add your Halloween sprinkles.
  3. Let the icing harden then enjoy!

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • As this recipe uses small quantities, the cake mix consistency will depend on the size of your eggs. If it's too thick to mix, add a small splash of milk. If it's too thin or looks curdled, add more flour.
