These little cakes are so quick and easy to do. You just measure everything into one bowl for the cakes and then beat. You can have them into the oven in no time at all.

Preparation Time

Serves

For the Buttercream Icing

1. Pre-heat the oven to 200*C/400*F. Line a 12 cup deep muffin tin with paper cupcake cases and set aside.

2. Measure all the cake ingredients into a bowl and then heat well for 2 to 3 minutes, until well blended and smooth. Spoon the batter into the cupcake cases, filling them about half full.

3. Bake them in the pre-heated oven for 15 to 20 minutes until well risen and golden brown. Remove them from the oven and lift them out of the muffin tin to a wire rack to cool completely.

4. For the icing beat the butter and icing sugar together until well blended and smooth. Spread over the top of the cooled cakes and decorate with sprinkles or candies as desired.
