Serves: Make

Ingredients
Ingredients
110g Butter
110g Sugar
2 Eggs, whisked
1/4 tsp vanilla essence
140g plain flour
1/4 tsp Baking powder
For the icing
100g icing sugar
2 tsp boiling water
1 dash of edible food colouring, optional
1 handful sprinkles, for decoration
12 glace cherries

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 190C/gas 5. Cream the butter until soft, add the sugar and beat again until light and fluffy.

2. Gradually add the beaten eggs, followed by the vanilla. Fold in the flour and baking powder and spoon the cake mixture into bun cases sitting in .bun trays.

3. Bake for 7-10 minutes, until golden and firm to the touch. Cool on a wire rack, before icing the cakes.

4. For the icing: sieve the sugar in a bowl and add enough water to make a coating consistency icing. Spoon onto the cakes and level off with a palette knife dipped in boiling water. Decorate with sweets or sprinkles before the icing sets.
