a fifo wife {fifo life: bake it: patty cakes with passionfruit icing}

These little delights are so very simple and as my three year old keeps screaming so much fun. Sounds good to me.

Patty Cakes with Passionfruit icing

What you will need:

125g butter softened

1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract

3/4 cups of caster sugar (regular sugar is fine)

3 eggs

2 cups of self raising flour

1/4 cup of milk

Icing:

2 cups icing sugar

20 g melted butter

2 tbs hot water approx

Pulp of one passionfruit (strain the pulp if desired some kids wont eat the black spot i.e mine but like the flavour)

 

How to:

Pre heat oven to 180 degrees fan forced 160 degrees. Line 12 hole muffin pan with paper cases.

Place all ingredients in a medium bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on low the on medium for three minutes or until the smooth and paler in colour.

Divide mixture between paper cases and bake for about 25 minutes.

Stand for about five minutes before turning top side up on to a rack to cool.

Icing:

Sift icing sugar into a small bowl. Add butter and enough water to make a firm paste. Stir the bowl over a pan of simmering water (I just boil the water in the kettle pour into pan and sit bowl on top) until icing is spreadable. Remove from the bowl and add passionfruit pulp. Once cakes have cooled spread icing.

Perfect for the kids lunch boxes or morning tea. Simple.
