Butter cream diaster
As ive been on annual leave for two weeks i have had a lot of spare time on my hands, so to keep me busy i decided to bake some Easter themed cakes.The cakes in themselves turned out okay, however the butter cream didn't, it had gone runny on me, i did try to save it by adding more icing sugar but that didnt work, so i just stuck with what i had. They still taste nice though and thats all that matters really isn't it?!
And how cute are these sprinkles? I found them in Asda and just had to have them they are sooo cute!
This is how i made them.
Ingredients
- 100g caster sugar
- 100g soft butter
- 100g self raising flour
- 2 eggs
- 1tsp vanilla extract
For the topping
- 200g soft butter
- 200g icing sugar
- Sprinkles
Method
- Pre heat the oven to 180 degrees and place a cake cases into your bun tray.
- Put the sugar and butter into a bowl and mix together. Sift in the flour.
- Break the eggs into the bowl and add the vanilla extract. Mix everything together.
- Divide the mixture between the cake cases and bake in the oven for 20 minutes until springy.
- Leave the cakes too cool.
- To make the butter cream, mix the butter and icing sugar together.
- Spread the mixture onto your cakes (or even pipe) and add your sprinkles.
