Aww..I love the fairy toadstool one, it does look beautiful doesn't it.
DD wanted me to make it one year, but I couldn't get the right size cake tins.
Ok, the donna hay recipe I have is a basic cupcake recipe, and I use the devondale extra soft, extra spreadable butter. I used a different butter last year, and it didn't seem to taste as nice.
375g butter
1 and a half cups caster sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 eggs
3 cups plain flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
Pre heat oven to 160. Place butter, sugar and vanilla in bow and beat until light and creamy.
Add the eggs, two at a time, beating well.
Sift the flour and baking powder over the butter mixture and mix until combined.
Fill patty cases until 3/4 full and bake for 35 minutes or until cooked when tested with a skewer.
Makes 24 cupcakes.
I use to make this in a couple of batches for
DD's cakes, but started using a packet mix to save some time.
Do we get to see pics of the cake?
