Healthy Desserts : Best Fairy Cakes

Before I do, perhaps we should take a look at what makes a fairy cake so yummy!

1. Delicate and Bouncy- A fairy cake should bounce back up when pushed down in the centre. This is a sign that the consistency is good, and the ingredients are therefore holding together well.
2. Golden Brown- The most obvious sign of a well baked cupcake is that it's golden brown in colour. If the cake is too pale, the centre of the treat may still need heating. On the other hand, if it's too dark your fairy cakes might be too crispy. No-one wants that!
3. Sweet and Tasty - And finally, the perfect cake has to be sweet and taste incredible. That's a given though, right?

So now your mouth must be watering! We know what the perfect fairy cake should be like, but the question remains, how do we make it? If you follow the recipe below, you'll be left with a yummy treat which you can decorate in any way you like.

You will need the following ingredients:

225g unsalted butter, plus a little extra for greasing the tray.
225g sugar, caster works best.
4 large eggs.
225g self-rising flour, plus a little extra for your work surface.
1 lemon.
A few drops of vanilla extract.

Healthy Desserts : Step 1

Preheat the oven to 190 C or gas mark 5.

Beat the butter and sugar together. Using a wooden spoon will help you with this as the ingredients are less likely to stick. Once the mixture is light and fluffy, beat in the eggs one by one, giving each a good stir before adding the other.

Sift in the flour carefully, ensuring there are no bumps in the mixture. This allows the ingredients to mix more efficiently, creating a tastier cake! Once this is done, hand squeeze the lemon juice into your mixing bowl before folding the mixture together. Continue folding for about 5 minutes until creamy and yellow. While folding, feel free to add a few drops of vanilla extract to make your cakes even more yummy!

Healthy Desserts : Step 4

Place between 15-20 paper cases on a baking tray, and use a tablespoon to divide the mixture evenly. Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown.

Leave your fairy cakes about 20 minutes so they can cool. Why not put the kettle on and watch an episode of Eastenders? London is bound to be more interesting than watching the oven.

Enjoy!
