1 level tsp baking powder
2 eggs

To decorate:

225g icing sugar
2-3 tbsp. warm water from the kettle
sprinkles, decorative bits or small sweets

Method

2. In a large bowl mix all cake ingredients together and beat well for 2-3 minutes until smooth.

3. Share the batter between the 12 cake cases and bake for 15-20 minutes.
