HOW TO MAKE MINI CHRISTMAS SPONGE CAKES
-
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). In a mixing bowl, whisk 1 egg with granulated sugar until pale and fluffy.
-
Add the oil and the water to the mixture and whisk together.
-
Then add the flour by sifting it together with the baking powder and stir again briefly.
-
Fill the cake moulds (5cm diameter) halfway up with cake batter and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool down slightly. Then, turn out onto a wire rack and allow to completely cool down.
-
Fill a piping bag with Nutella®. Slice the cakes into two halves horizontally. Spread on 8g of Nutella® and put the two layers back together again so that they resemble a sandwich.
-
Place a Christmas themed stencil (a reindeer or Christmas tree for example), on top of each cake and sprinkle on a thin layer of icing sugar. Then you can enjoy!
