Andrew Nutter's dainty mouthfuls of orange-scented cake smeared with coloured glace icing make the perfect a light conclusion to lunch
Ingredients
- 125g Butter, softened
- 125g caster sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 125g self-raising flour
- 1 Orange, finely grated zest only
- 3 tbsp Milk
To decorate
- 100g icing sugar, sieved
- 1 tbsp water
- edible food colouring
- edible glitter
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180C/gas 4.2. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, then mix in the flour, orange zest and milk in turn to give a smooth batter.
3. Spoon the batter into baby petit four cases, place in a small muffin tin, and bake for approximately 6 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
4. Mix sieved icing sugar with water in a basin and beat until smooth.
5. Divide the icing among individual small bowls and add a drop or two of food colouring to each to create icing in all the colours of the rainbow. Spread the icing over the top of the cooled cupcakes.
