Categories: Cakes, Snacks, Novelty
Yield: 12 servings
MMMMM-------------------------MUFFINS--------------------------------
280 g Butter; softened
280 g Golden caster sugar
200 g Eelf-raising flour
2 tb Cocoa powder
6 md Eggs
MMMMM--------------------ICING & DECORATION--------------------------
200 g Butter; softened
280 g Icing sugar; sifted
1 tb Cocoa powder
Liquorice allsorts, sweets
- or candy
12 Paper baking cups, brown
Set oven @ 190°C/380°F/gas 5. Line a 12-cup muffin
tin with brown muffin cases. Beat the first 5
ingredients to a smooth batter and spoon between the
cases, almost filling them to the top. You may have a
little left over. (Alternatively, use a fairy cake or
cup cake tin for smaller ones - again, try to find some
brown paper cases. You should be able to make 24 "owls"
if you make them in the smaller cake tin.) Bake for
20-25 minutes until risen and spongy. Cool on a rack.
Beat the butter and icing sugar until smooth, and then
add the cocoa powder, mixing well. Slice off the very
tops of the cakes and cut each piece in half. Spread a
generous layer of icing over each cake.
Working on one cake at a time, take a pair of the large
round liquorice allsorts sweets/candy that are yellow or
pink with black centres. * Sit the eyes on top of the
cake; then add the two pieces of cake cut from the top
(curved edge up) behind the eyes but slightly slanted
towards the eyes - to make the eyebrows or owl's ears.
Finish by adding a piece of orange or pink sweet/candy,
in between the eyes to the front, for the beak.
Watch the owls "fly" off the table when the children
see them!
