How To Prepare A Fairy Cake Dessert - Lemon Fairy Cake Recipe
Fairy cakes are fun and easy recipes to undertake, and they
benefit from the fact that everybody loves them, especially children.
Being such easy recipes to make you can consider including your kids in
the preparation process, creating a lot of fun for them and making them
enjoy their fairy cakes even more because they helped make them.
 Of course you can make fairy cakes with the aid of boxed cake mix and
they give great results but there’s not a lot of fun in that for your
kids so you’ll need some recipes that they can really sink their hands
in. You can think about this as both a special bonding with your kids as
well as introducing them to the wonderful world of baking and making
things with their own hands.
Here’s a lemon fairy cake recipe that loads of children enjoy:
You’ll need:
- Three and a half ounces of softened butter
- Three and a half ounces of cream cheese
- Two tablespoons of finely grated lemon rind
- A cup of very fine sugar
- Two eggs
- Half a cup of flour
- A third of a cup of self-raising flour
Pre-heat your oven to 325 degrees and prepare a dozen-cup muffin pan
with cupcake papers. Preparing the mix implies beating most of the
ingredients until smooth and creamy. You have to mix the butter, sugar,
eggs, cheese and lemon rind, while at the same time sifting the flours
together. Any of these actions can be taught to your children and they
will surely enjoy the fact that they’ll help and that they can get their
hands dirty without fear of repercussions.
Once the wet ingredients are all smoothly mixed together, start
adding the flour gradually keeping in mind to beat the mix at a low
speed until they’re all combined. All that remains to be done is to set
the mixture into the baking tin and pop them into the oven where they
should be ready in around twenty or twenty-five minutes. When they’re
firm to the touch allow them to cool and then you and your kids can go
nuts and start decorating them with all sorts of frostings, sprinkles,
nuts or whatever. Considering however that this recipe has a definite
lemon component to it, you might want to consider frosting them with a
lemon flavoured frosting as well just to accentuate their taste.
