  • 1t Woolworths Vanilla Extract
  • 150 g Woolworths Cake Wheat Flour
  • 1t Woolworths Baking Powder

Method:

1. Preheat your oven to 170°C. Coat a cupcake baking tray with non-stick spray.

2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla together until pale, thick, and fluffy.

3. Sift in the flour and baking powder. Gently fold in to keep the mixture light.
Combine the milk and oil before slowly incorporating into the dry ingredients.

4. Pour the batter into the cupcake tray and bake for 10–13 minutes until golden and springy. Let the cake cool slightly before removing from the baking tray.

5. For the glaze, combine the icing sugar, jam and water, mixing until perfectly smooth.

6. Dip the still warm cupcakes into the glaze and coat well before rolling in the coconut. Set aside to cool completely.

7. Combine the chilled cream with the castor sugar and whip until still.

8.Halve the cooled snowballs and pipe the cream around the ends, leaving the centre open. Add some jam to the centre before sandwiching to complete the snowball.
