I have coffee cake in the oven now
3 eggs, weigh them in their shells and then the weight (probably 6 oz) of self raising flour, marg/butter, sugar. Then either a shot of expresso or instant coffee stirred into a small amount of water.
Posh way - cream sugar and butter, add eggs and slowly add the flour, then add the coffee mixture. Short method, chuck it all in mixer and mix! Cook at gas mark 4 (dunno what this is in electric) for about 15 to 20 minutes. I do mine as a tray bake in a 8 inch tin. It's a bit small for my round sponge tins but you could double it quite happily!
You can use the same basic sponge recipe for fairy cakes and add cocoa, fruit etc.
Happy baking!Piglet

Wheaten scones will be like wheaten bread I expect - so 8oz wholemeal flour (or half wholemeal, half white), 2tsp baking powder(check on the side of the container for scones, pinch of salt. Rub in 2oz butter/ marge. Stir in 2oz sugar. Mix to dough with buttermilk (or sour normal milk with a little vinegar or lemon juice). Pat out dough, cut and bake at 180C.
Here in NI it's quite common to put chopped dates in wheaten scones which is very nice.“the princess jumped from the tower & she learned that she could fly all along. she never needed those wings.”
