Lemon Top Fairy Cakes

Total Time: 25 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• 4 ounces unsalted butter, soft
• 2 eggs
• 4 ounces self raising flour, sifted
• 4 ounces caster sugar
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• chocolate chips (optional)
• 9 ounces icing sugar
• 3 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 drop yellow food coloring

Recipe

• 1 preheat the oven to 195°c.
• 2 mix all the cake ingredients in a food processor (with or without chocolate chips) and place 3 heaped tsp in each cake case. bake in the centre of the oven for 15-20 minutes and leave on a wiring rack to cool for a good 30 minutes (if you can resist 'em!). only ice when cold.
• 3 for the icing, mix together the 3 ingredients with a fork. if the consistency is too runny, add more icing sugar. check how lemony the icing is before adding just a tad of food colouring if you prefer them to have that lemon touch! the icing should be almost like a paste, in order for it to stiffen on each fairy cake.
