Servings: 12 mini loaf tins
Ingredients
Cake mixture
- 275 g unsalted butter (or baking spread)
- 275 g caster sugar
- 5 medium eggs
- 275 g self raising flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Decoration
- 250 g unsalted butter (room temp)
- 500 g icing sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180ºc/160ºc fan and prep 12 of the mini cake tins onto large trays. I put 6 per tray.
- Add the butter and sugar to a bowl and mix together until creamy
- Add the eggs, flour and vanilla and mix together again until thick
- Add the mixture to a piping bag (or you can use spoons) and add 80-85g of mix to each mini cake tin. I put each mini cake tin onto my scales so it was accurate
- Bake the mini cake tins in the oven for 20+ minutes until baked
- Once baked, remove the trays from the oven and leave to cool on the side fully
- Add the room temperature butter to a bowl, and beat until smooth
- Add the icing sugar and vanilla extract and beat again for 5 minutes or so until light and fluffy
- Add to a piping bag with your chosen piping tip and then decorate the cupcakes with the frosting
- Add sprinkles to decorate and enjoy.
Notes
Adapting other recipes (it can vary)
- A 12 cupcake mixture makes - 8 mini cake tins
- A full cheesecake mixture makes - 12 mini cake tins
- A brownie/blondie mixture makes - 12 mini cake tins
- For cake mixtures you want to use 80-85g worth so you have enough room for decoration
Brownies you can fill more as they don’t rise as much or need as much decoration
- I used these mini cake tins
- These are also good ones to purchase
- I used this piping tip for decoration
- I love using these large piping bags
- Cakes/brownies made in these tins will last 3-4+ days
- Cheesecakes need to be stored in the fridge and will last 3+ days
- You can freeze cakes in these trays easily for 3+ months
- I do re-use my tins after they have had a bake in them - I wash them out and use again or use them for storage or sprinkles, piping tips, etc - try not to throw them away after one use!
