I tried and tried to find something different for ‘Q’ but I failed, miserably. These quaint little cakes were the only recipe I could come up with. They’re really what I call ‘Fairy Cakes’ but they bring back memories of baking with my mother and grandma. They’re so quick and easy to make and you can really add whatever filling you’d like and any topping too if you so wish.
As at slightly different take on them, I decided to make them using one of my bundt pans that my daughter gave me for my birthday last year. The pan I used was my Nordicware Heritage Bundtlette Pan and it produced delicate, pretty cakes which when dusted with Snow Sugar, looked amazing.
As I said, this is a very easy recipe to make and a delight to bake for anyone with small children.
