Ingredients

  • 250 g caster sugar
  • 250 g margarine
  • 250 g self raising flour
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 500 g icing sugar
  • 250 g butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla flavour
  • Sprinkles or decorations

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 170°C (gas 3). Line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases.
  2. Beat the margarine and caster sugar until pale and fluffy.
  3. Whisk the eggs lightly with a small portion of the measured flour, then beat this mixture gradually into the margarine and sugar. Fold in the remaining flour.
  4. Divide the batter between the cases and bake for about 15 minutes, until the cakes spring back when touched. Transfer them to a wire rack and cool completely.
  5. Beat the icing sugar, butter and vanilla flavouring together until smooth. Pipe the icing onto the cold cakes and add the sprinkles or decorations.
