  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 170°C (fan 150°C, gas mark 3). Line a muffin tray with 10-12 paper cases.

  2. 2

    Whisk together the oil, eggs and vanilla extract

    For this step you'll need:

    • 150ml Vegetable oil
    • 2 Egg(s) (free range)
    • 1tsp Vanilla extract
  3. 3

    Add the sugar and flour and mix until well blended.

    For this step you'll need:

    • 75g Unrefined golden caster sugar
    • 150g Self-raising white flour
  4. 4

    Spoon the mixture into the paper cases and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden on top. Insert the tip of a knife into the cases and it should pull away clean if they’re done.

  5. 5

    Allow to cool on a rack. Once cooled, draw a sharp knife slightly in at an angle around the top of the cake so that you cut a little section away. Cut it in half to make wings.

    For this step you'll need:

    • 50g Butter
    • 100g Icing sugar

    Spoon the icing on to each cake, making sure to place the wings at angles into the butter icing. Dot the sprinkles over each cake.
