Ingredients

  • 100 g Softened butter
  • 100 g Caster sugar
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 2 Small Eggs
  • 100 g Self-raising flour (plus 1 teaspoon to coat the chocolate chips)
  • 100 g Chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180℃ (160℃ for fan ovens) and line a cupcake tin with 12 fairy cake cases.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until soft and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Mix in the flour and the eggs, a little bit at a time, until you have a smooth, thick cake batter. Use a splash of milk to loosen it if you need to.
  • Mix the chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon of flour together until evenly coated. Then add them to the cake mix and gently fold them in.
  • Divide the cake mix equally between the fairy cake cases and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Transfer to a wire rack and let them cool completely before enjoying.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
