White Chocolate Fairy Cakes

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

   Tip: Make sure the parchment paper is securely in place to prevent the cakes from sticking.

2. 2

   In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

   Tip: Sift the dry ingredients to remove any lumps.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

   Tip: Use an electric mixer to ensure the mixture is well combined.

4. 4

   Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the milk and vanilla extract.

   Tip: Make sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.

5. 5

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

   Tip: Be careful not to overmix the batter.

6. 6

   Melt the white chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval.

   Tip: Stir the melted chocolate until smooth and glossy.

7. 7

   Fold the melted white chocolate into the batter until well combined.

   Tip: Make sure the chocolate is evenly distributed throughout the batter.

8. 8

   Divide the batter evenly among 8 fairy cake molds or small cups.

   Tip: Tap the molds gently to remove any air bubbles.

9. 9

   Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the cakes are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

   Tip: Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the molds for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. 10

    Once the cakes are completely cool, dust them with confectioners' sugar and serve.

    Tip: You can also sandwich the cakes together with a layer of white chocolate for an extra-special treat.
