Apple and Custard Mini Cakes


These mini marvels with a surprise centre are delicious and different; not your average fairy cake with some icing and sprinkles. 


Bake them with kids or as I did, for someones work treats and they'll be employee of the week! 


If you haven't got any apples or canned apple. Why not try custard and jam, marmalade or lemon curd?




Ingredients:
  • 100g caster sugar
  • 100g very soft butter
  • 100g self-raising flour
  • eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 60mls think prepared Custard
  • 125mls canned apple ( or cooked and sweetened apple)
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon 



1. Pre heat the oven to 180C

2. Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.

3. Stir in the eggs one at a time and add the vanilla.

4. Fold in the flour and cinnamon. 

5. Put one teaspoon of the mixture in fairy tin cakes or different mini cake mould (I used stars) 

6. Add half a teaspoon of the custard, then half a teaspoon of the apple to the centre of the cake mixture.

7. Cover the filling with cake mixture, make sure to only fill the cases half full. 

8. Put in the oven and bake for 10-15mintues.  Glaze with the apple or jam.








N.B. for an extra treat try a cream cheese icing on top.
