These cake weren't supposed to look like I had poured slime all over them - but they do! Don't worry they taste yummy so it doesn't matter.
Ingredients:
2oz of butter
2 cups of caster sugar
2 beaten eggs
1 cup of milk
2/3 cups of self-raising flour.
1tsp of Vanilla extract.
First of all I creamed the butter and sugar together then added the 2 beaten eggs with the teaspoon of Vanilla flavouring.
Next up I added the flour and milk in parts to create a thick mixture and placed it evenly into cupcake papers.
Bake for 10-15 mins on 180*c.
Once left to cool down I made the slimey looking icing glaze.
Ingredients:
1 cup of icing sugar
1 tbs of milk
2 tsp green colouring
1/2 tsp on vanilla extract.
First up I place the milk in a container, then added the Vanilla flavour. After this I kept adding small amount of icing and stirring until the sugar had dissolved.
Once all the sugar was dissolved I added the green food colouring until it looked bright enough.
As this glaze sets quickly I immediately placed over the top of the cooled down cakes, as it was wet it ran a little - making it look like slime! I added edible silver balls to jazz it up a little.
I've just had one and they taste great!
Don't forget tomorrow is giveaway day!

ReplyDeletemmm they look great..why do all british cup cakes mostly have sugar icing?
ReplyDeleteOh man I love baking! British cupcakes mostly have sugar icing.. just.. because! haha. These look lovely.
ReplyDeleteTechnically i'm from Gloucestershire, but I say Bristol as more people know where that is. Devon must be such a cool place to live, you're lucky!! And I heart tea too, especially Tea Pigs tea, check them out, heaven!!
oo yummy x
ReplyDeletelovely! the 'slime' simply adds charm x
ReplyDeleteHaha, I love the name 'Slime Cakes'. My glace icing used to turn out really runny when I first started making fairy cakes but now I just add a crapload of icing sugar to make it behave.
ReplyDeleteThey look so yummy, I'm craving now!
reminds me of when I tried to make cream cheese icing with fatfree cream cheese (upon insistence of bf...)
ReplyDeleteyour cupcakes look delish though.
