Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line a 12-bun tin with fairy cake cases. Put the sugar, butter, flour, eggs, vanilla and banana in a big bowl together. Beat with an electric whisk until banana is mashed and everything mixed. Divide between the cases and bake for 20-22 mins until a skewer poked in comes out clean. Cool.

  • step 2

    To decorate, mix the icing sugar with enough water to be spoonable, but not too runny or it will dribble off the cakes. Spread some over each cake. Knead some food colouring into the regal icing to make a bright red colour. Roll 12 different-size balls, dip one side or the top of each in some sprinkles and stick one on each cake.

Easy to make and although a bit heavier than my fairy cakes are, they are a useful way to use up over-ripe bananas. Fill your patty tins at least 3/4 full.

I'm not a great baker and have been disappointed many times when making (or should I say trying to make) cupcakes with my little daughter. This recipe though turned out amazing! The cupcakes are moist and fluffy and really delicious. We've only just made a batch and my daughter wants to make another…

Five stars. I used Pure Sunflower spread and Gluten-free SR flour (same quantities) to make this dairy and gluten free for a children's party. I tasted them when they cooled (just to quality assure) and they felt heavy to pick up but didn't actually taste dense. In fact they were so sweet and…

Brilliant, really tasty and super quick and easy recipe!! I used the cake recipe and decorated with my own icing to make minion cupcakes. It's so good that this is my fourth time using it in the last month. It even works as a loaf.
