Step-by-step

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas mark 4.
  2. Weigh your eggs. Note the weight and measure the same amount of butter substitute, sugar and flour. Place all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and beat with a wooden spoon 2 – 3 minutes until well mixed. Place dessertspoons of the mixture in 10-12 paper cases or greased bun tins.
  3. Bake for around 20 minutes until soft and springy to touch. Cool on a wire tray.
  4. Mix icing ingredients together and spread over the cakes. Sprinkle with coconut and decorate as a snowman face using the buttons cut in half for the hat, the chocolate drops for eyes and orange decoration for nose.

This recipe was devised by Sue Batty for Stork and Flora. She uses Flora Buttery as her butter substitute for this one.
