From Ann Moura's Green Witchcraft III The Manual
Actual fairy cakes are about the size of raspberries. Since it is hard to find baking pans that small, you can bake them in muffin a tin. (Faeries use acorn tops to bake theirs in)
2c. flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
3/4 c butter (DO NOT SUBSISTUTE)
1 1/2 c white sugar
3 eggs
1 tps vanilla
1 1/3 c milk
1. Grease muffin tin with a bit of butter.
2. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt.
3. Cream together the butter and sager, then add the eggs and vanilla. Beat until light and fluffy.
4. Add a few spoonfuls of dry ingredients then some milk to the cream mixture. Keep alternating ingredients until well mixed.
5. Fill muffin cups 3/4 full. Bake at 350degrees F for 20-25 minutes.
6. Let cool before frosting with your favorite icing. (Faeries prefer honey on theirs)
When I bake these I make sure to have a least a 1/2 dozen acorn tops handy to make some for the Fae Folk that reside in my yard and home. I serve them usually at Beltane and Harvest Feasts. Fairy Tea
