Banana Fairy Cakes (cupcakes) - easy all-in-one recipe

 These little cakes dont look that pretty :o( 
- my icing skills aren't that brilliant as I was in a hurry - 
but they taste delicious! and are easy to make.

Makes 12 fairy cakes - which are a bit smaller than cupcakes
Oven: 180 deg.C - approx. 20 mins.  - check with a skewer to make sure they are cooked through - they should be a golden colour.

12 portion tin with paper cases.

*Ingredients:
4ozs. caster sugar
4 ozs. butter - softened
4ozs. self-raising flour
1 tsp. vanilla essence
1 VERY ripe banana
2 eggs

Method:
Place all the ingredients in a processor (or use a hand mixer) and mix thoroughly.
Fill each case approx. 3/4 full
Bake!
When cool you can ice them:
Icing: 
approx. 140g. icing sugar
1 tablspn. of lemon juice + enough water to make a thick'ish paste - not so liquid as the icing will slide off the cake.  Although it may seem like a of of icing, I used all of it.

Store in an airtight tin.  They should keep at least 2-4 days.  The icing helps keep the cakes a little longer.

*original recipe measurements in grams: 
100g caster sugar
100 grams butter
140g self raising flour
