Mini loaf tins!

Ingredients

Cake mixture

• 275 g unsalted butter (or baking spread)
• 275 g caster sugar
• 5 medium eggs
• 275 g self raising flour
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Decoration

• 250 g unsalted butter (room temp)
• 500 g icing sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• sprinkles

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 180ºc/160ºc fan and prep 12 of the mini cake tins onto large trays. I put 6 per tray. 
• Add the butter and sugar to a bowl and mix together until creamy
• Add the eggs, flour and vanilla and mix together again until thick
• Add the mixture to a piping bag (or you can use spoons) and add 80-85g of mix to each mini cake tin. I put each mini cake tin onto my scales so it was accurate 
• Bake the mini cake tins in the oven for 20+ minutes until baked
• Once baked, remove the trays from the oven and leave to cool on the side fully
• Add the room temperature butter to a bowl, and beat until smooth
• Add the icing sugar and vanilla extract and beat again for 5 minutes or so until light and fluffy
• Add to a piping bag with your chosen piping tip and then decorate the cupcakes with the frosting
• Add sprinkles to decorate and enjoy. 

Notes

Adapting other recipes (it can vary) 

• A 12 cupcake mixture makes – 8 mini cake tins
• A full cheesecake mixture makes – 12 mini cake tins
• A brownie/blondie mixture makes – 12 mini cake tins

Filling the mini cake tins

• For cake mixtures you want to use 80-85g worth so you have enough room for decorationBrownies you can fill more as they don’t rise as much or need as much decoration

Tips & Tricks

• I used these mini cake tins
• These are also good ones to purchase
• I used this piping tip for decoration
• I love using these large piping bags
• Cakes/brownies made in these tins will last 3-4+ days
• Cheesecakes need to be stored in the fridge and will last 3+ days
• You can freeze cakes in these trays easily for 3+ months
• I do re-use my tins after they have had a bake in them – I wash them out and use again or use them for storage or sprinkles, piping tips, etc – try not to throw them away after one use!
