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.
