Ingredients

Cakes

non-stick cooking spray

2 cup self-raising flour

1 cup white sugar

1 teaspoon mixed spice

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup frozen raspberries

100 gram butter (melted)

1 cup berry yoghurt

2 eggs (lightly beaten)

1 cup carrot (grated)

1/4 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence

Glaze

1 1/2 cup icing sugar

1 tablespoon juice from grated beetroot

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, optional

Decorations

edible flowers – such as nasturtium petals

1 tablespoon egg white

caster sugar, for sprinkling

Method

1.Preheat oven to 210°C.

2.Put 16 paper cases on a baking tray and lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.

3.In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, mixed spice and baking soda then add the frozen berries and fold through.

4.In a separate bowl, combine melted butter, yoghurt, eggs, grated carrot, milk and vanilla essence. Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing with a large spoon until just combined. Don’t over-mix. Spoon into paper cases, working quickly and filling them three-quarters full.

5.Bake in oven for 20-25 minutes or until risen, brown and springy when pressed gently. Cool on a wire rack.

6.For the glaze, place the icing sugar in a bowl and squeeze the grated beetroot so that the juice drips into the bowl. Add vanilla, if using, and a dash of water to mix to a spreadable consistency. If it becomes too runny, add more icing sugar.

7.When cakes are cool, spread with glaze and decorate as desired.
