I have my original recipe that I haven't revisited for a long time, I know they were very nice though.
There are four flavours.
Apple Cakes
2 cups self-rising flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 teas cinnamon
4oz softened butter or substitute
3 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teas vanilla essence
1 tab lemon juice
1 apple
Sift dry ingredients into small basin of electric mixer, add softened butter, eggs, milk, vanilla and lemon juice. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes. Add peeled, grated apple, beat further 1 minute. Drop tablespoonfuls of mixture into deep greased patty tins, bake in moderately hot oven 12 to 15 mins or until golden brown.
For fairy cakes (which is what we call them here) use a sharp knife to cut small circle from centre of each patty (cup) cake. Cut circle about 5mm (1/4") in from edge of cake, and cut down 1cm (1/2") into the cake. For butterfly cakes, cut rounds from cakes, as directed for fairy cakes, then cut each round in half, to represent wings.
Half a teaspoon of jam (jelly) or lemon butter can be spooned into the cakes, then whipped cream; or use any of the special fillings we give here. Place in position the small rounds of cake, or the wings. Dust cakes, if desired, with a little sifted icing sugar. (Powdered sugar) Each recipe makes about 24 cakes.
