Creepy Little Cakes

Happy Halloween all! In the spirit of Halloween, last night I rustled up these really quick and easy 'Pumpkin' head cakes. I picked up the mould for these in Aldi last week for under €3.....bargain. These cakes are really sweet and moist and are perfect for handing out to 'treat or treaters' and family alike. I used food colouring to achieve the bright pumpkin orange colour. Happy baking!
Not to worry if you don't have a Pumpkin Mould.....without the mould, you can still make fantastic orange coloured cakes using a regular cupcake mould and add some black butter-cream frosting for dramatic effect! 
Makes 8-10 Cakes


125g melted butter
190g Self-Raising Flour
150g light browen sugar
2 tablespoons of golden syrup

1. Preheat over to 170°C. Grease your cupcake cases or tins.
2. Put the butter, sugar, eggs, and syrup in a large mixer and combine well until smooth.
Then gently fold in the flour and mix until combined. At this stage you can add the food
colouring  of your choice. I picked orange for these pumpkins.
3. Bake for 20 minutes or until risen and firm to touch. Leave to rest in the moulds for 4-5
minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely. - If you want you could ice and decorate these cakes with black royal icing for the eyes
and mouth to make the details really pop.
- Although these cakes have been made in Pumpkin moulds for Halloween, this sweet cake
mixture can be used year round for all different types occasions. Posted by Emma Deirdre at 8:11 am
