Kids Party Food - Little Fairy Cakes

Makes 12

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a 12-hole cupcake pan with paper cases. Place the flours, sugar, butter, milk, eggs, zest and vanilla in a large bowl.

Using electric beaters, beat on low speed for 30 seconds or until combined.
Increase speed to high, then beat for 2 minutes or until the mixture is thick and the butter has been incorporated.

Spoon the mixture into the paper cases.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until risen and golden. Leave to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.

Place the 100s and 1000s on a plate.

Warm the jam in the microwave until just melted. Cut a shallow round from the top of each cake, then halve the rounds.

Brush each piece with jam, then coat in the 100s and 1000s. Place a dollop of whipped cream on each cake and sit 2 coated pieces in the cream to form wings. Finish with a little extra jam on top.
