Queen Cakes recipe

ingredients

These individual sponge cakes, enriched with sultanas, are very easy to prepare. Children enjoy piling the mixture into the paper cases - and. licking the spoon!
100 g (4 oz) butter
100 g (4 oz) caster sugar
2 eggs, beaten
100 g (4 oz) self-raising flour
50 g (2 oz) sultanas

method

1. Spread out 16 paper cases on baking sheets, or put them into patty tins.

2. Cream the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy. Gradually beat in the egg, a little at a time, beating well after each addition. Fold in the flour, then the fruit.

3. Fill the paper cases half full. Bake at 190°C (375°F) mark 5 for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Very easy to prepare. You can also substitute the sultanas with grated orange rind to give an orange flavour

Ummm, though they dont have a serving suggestion im guessing based on the fact that it says spread out 16 paper cases that you would know it made 16.

Serving suggestion?!? Howsabout serve with a nice cup of tea. They're an old fashioned cup cake, asking for a serving suggestion is like asking for a serving suggestion for a digestive biscuit.

This is one that my mum did for us.
Cut the top off the cup cake and create a little hollow in the middle. Put some rasperry jam in the hollow with fresh thick cream on top.
Cut the top in half to make two wing shapes.
Place the wings vertically on top the cream should hold them in place.
Then serve with some nice Barry's tea
Thanks
