Cup Cakes

100g butter/margarine
100g sugar
100g self-raising flour
2 pinches baking powder
2 eggs

Makes 12
Oven setting: 180 C
Baking time; 15 min

Cream butter and sugar. Add SR flour and baking powder, mix well. Add eggs and mix well. Spoon into patty papers, filling them only to 2/3 full. Bake 15min, or until golden brown.

To ice them: Allow patty cakes to cool. Mix 3 tablespoons icing sugar with 1 tablespoon boiling water. Add either more icing sugar if the mixture is too runny, or a tiny bit more water if it's too firm. Add a few drops of colouring, if desired. Spread over patty cakes and leave in a cool place to set.

Notes: These are like 'sponge cake' cup cakes.
