Easy Peasy Jammy Fairy Cakes

A quick and easy bake, perfect for a sweet treat on a Sunday afternoon, and some left over for a Monday lunch box pick me up.

Basic Recipe from BBC Good food website, jam was my own addition. Just spoon in 1tsp of cake mix into the bun cases then add 1/2-1tsp of jam into each bun case before spooning on another spoonful of the cake mixture on top.

Ingredients

• 100g caster sugar
• 100g very soft butter
• 100g self-raising flour
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Approx 1/2tsp Jam per cake
• For icing
• 200g icing sugar
• few drops Vanilla extract
• teaspoon water

1.  turn the oven on to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put a paper case in each bun hole.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Divide between the cases using a spoon, scraping it off with a knife. put the tray in the oven for 20 minutes.
5. Mix water, icing sugar and vanilla extract to make  icing. (You can Add food colouring if you like)
6. Let the cakes cool completely in the tray. Mix icing cover tops of cakes.

Made 14 lovely jammy buns :) (would have been even tastier if I had remembered I had run out of icing sugar! so 14 non-iced buns)
