directions

  • Preheat the oven to 190. Line cupcake tin with eight paper cases.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  • Mix the eggs together in a seperate bowl and gradually beat into the creamed mixture a little at a time, adding 1 tablespoon of flour if the mixture begins to curdle.
  • Fold in the flour and spices, adding enough water to bring the mixture to a dropping consistency. Stir in the fruit.
  • Dividie the mixture between the prepared cases. Bake in the middle of the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the cakes are well risen, golden and feel spongy to the touch.
  • Mix together the icing sugar with a very little boiling water and when the cakes have cooled, drizzle over the top.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Not much to tell! I'm a South African living in London, mother of four rangingfrom 25 to 9. I am desperately trying to get my children's stories published - anyone out there interested? Until my ship sails in, I cook, eat everything and anything, and then diet like mad. I love experimenting with new recipes and I absolutely hate spoilt kids who visit and say? "what is THIS?" and push it away without trying. My favourite cookbook is Mrs Beeton's family cookbook. 1994 edition.
