Yummy mini cakes, perfect for school lunches!
Ingredients:
  • 125g butter, chopped, at room temperature
  • 161.25 gm caster sugar
  • 4.40 gm vanilla essence
  • 2 eggs
  • 300.00 gm self-raising flour, sifted
  • 169.95 gm milk
  • 85.00 gm sultanas or dates, chopped
  • 62.50 ml dried apricots, chopped
  • Shredded coconut, toasted, to serve
  • 300.00 gm icing sugar
  • 15g butter
  • 1-42.00 gm lemon juice
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 180C. Line two 12-hole patty pans with paper cases. Cream butter, sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the eggs one by one, beating thoroughly after each one and scraping down the sides of the bowl.
  • Gently mix flour into creamed mixture, alternating with milk and starting and finishing with flour. Carefully fold in fruit.
  • Fill paper cases with the mixture up to 3/4 full. Bake for 15-20 mins until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool in pans for 5 mins, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Sift icing sugar into a bowl, then mix in butter and just the right amount of lemon juice until the icing is perfectly spreadable.
  • Frost the cooled cakes generously with icing, then sprinkle coconut on top. Keep them fresh by storing in an airtight container.
