Ghostly Sweet Treats

Spookily delicious Ghostly Sweet Treats from the Dairy Diary 2022. Perfect for Halloween.



Ghostly Sweet Treats

Ingredients

Butter 200g (7oz), softened

Caster sugar 110g (4oz)

Medium eggs 2

Self-raising flour 110g (4oz)

Vanilla extract 1 tsp

Icing sugar 225g (8oz)

Seedless raspberry jam 12 heaped tsp

Edible eyes 24

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 180°C/160°fan/Gas 4. Put 12 fairy cake cases in a 12-hole muffin tray.

2

Beat 110g (4oz) butter with caster sugar until light and fluffy. Whisk in eggs one at a time, along with flour, half the vanilla, and 1 tablespoon water until smooth. Divide mix between cases. Bake for 20-25 minutes until risen and golden. Leave to cool completely on a wire rack.

3

Whisk remaining butter with icing sugar, remaining vanilla and 2 tablespoons warm water to make a spreadable buttercream.

4

Leaving a thin border, cut a cone shape out of each cake. Spoon jam into hole and place cone back on top, pointing upwards. Spread a heaped tablespoon of buttercream over each cake, creating a ‘quiff’ on top. Pop eyes on. The cakes will keep for a few days in an airtight container.
