This week I thought I'd share our recipe for the fabulous Gold Star cakes we made for the Beebies picnic a few weeks ago.
You will need
· 110g/4oz butter or margarine, softened at room temperature
· 110g/4oz caster sugar
· 2 free-range eggs, lightly beaten
· 1 tsp vanilla extract
· 110g/4oz self-raising flour
· 1-2 tbsp milk
· 1 pack of Dr Oetker Giant chocolate stars
· 1 bar of white chocolate
· 1 can of Dr Oetker Golden Shimmer Spray
1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4 and line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases.
2. Cream the butter and sugar together in a bowl until pale. Beat in the eggs a little at a time and stir in the vanilla extract.
3. Fold in the flour using a large metal spoon, adding a little milk until the mixture is of a dropping consistency. Spoon the mixture into the paper cases until they are half full.
4. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until golden-brown on top and a skewer inserted into one of the cakes comes out clean. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes, then remove from the tin and cool on a wire rack.
5. While the cakes are cooling. lay the chocolate stars out on a sheet of kitchen towel. Spray the stars with the shimmer spray. It may take a few layers.
6. Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of boiling water. Once fully melted, using a fork drizzle the white chocolate over the top of each cake. Add a golden star on top and hey presto!
If you've any chocolate left over, why not task your tot with dipping some gold sprayed marshmallows and covering them with sprinkles? It's so much fun!
