I never wanted to be a housewife, cleaning, cooking and coffee mornings. How things have changed! I'm a 30 ish, married, English mum now living in Germany. The challenge: to become a less helpless housewife.

Fairy Cakes

Easy peasy fairy cakes!

Makes 12-15



You will need:

100g Soft margarine or butter
100g caster sugar
100g Plain flour 
5ml (1level tsp) baking powder
2 eggs
Paper cases 
Bun tin (although I have made them successfully without a bun tin and just had the paper cases on baking paper on a baking tray)


Icing - Personal choice really. I love making and eating butter icing (soft butter mixed with lots of icing sugar).


What to do:



  • Preheat oven to 190 degrees celsius (180 degrees for a fan assisted oven)
  • Measure the flour and add level tsp of baking powder. Mix with a spoon and sieve into a large bowl
  • Measure all the remaining cake ingredients into the bowl and mix well until the mixture is smooth
  • Spoon into the paper cases until half full
  • Bake in the centre of the oven for 15 - 20 mins
  • Do not open the oven door whilst the cakes are cooking
  • The cakes should be well risen and spring back when pressed lightly with a finger
  • Leave to cool and ice
