Lemon Top Fairy Cakes image

I made two batches of these yummy things, and then was ordered to make another one...totaling to 36. I haven't counted how many are left either...It's one of those "safe" recipes which gives you fast results. When I was little we'd always demand these which were known as "lemon tops" in our household...

Time 25m

Yield 12 cakes, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

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

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 195°C.
  • 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.
  • 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.
