Fairy cakes

• 125g self-raising flour
• 125g soft butter
• 125g caster sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla essence

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 190C (375F, gas mark 5) and put cake cases into a bun tin: this usually makes about 20 or so.

Step 2
Sift the flour and baking powder together, and then pour everything else in and beat until it's creamy: when it drops off the spoon with a fat dollop, the mix is ready.

Step 3
Put a spoonful of mix into each case and bake for about 20 minutes.
