Easy Christmas Tree Cakes

A guest post by Karen Lancaster

These gorgeous little cakes are great to make with children. Decorate with shapes cut out of ready rolled icing, such as Christmas trees, stars and snowmen. Easy to adapt for all occasions.

Ingredients


225g self-raising flour 
225g caster sugar 
215g unsalted butter 
1 tablespoon veg oil 
4 eggs 
1 tsp good vanilla extract 
1 tsp baking powder

Heat Oven to 190c.
Put everything in the bowl and mix (I use electric hand mixer) until fluffy.
Fill cases about 1/4 full.



Bake for 20 minutes until risen and the mixture springs back when touched.
Leave to cool.
Top with buttercream and decorate how you wish.

Makes 24 cupcakes

Would you make these cakes with your kids at Christmas?
