Ingredients

150 ml carton plain yogurt (rinse the pot and use as a measure)

1 pot of caster sugar

1 pot of sunflower oil

2 eggs

2 pots of self – raising flour

250 g strawberries plus extra for decorating, diced.

Finely grated rind of 1 orange.

For the icing and decoration

1 pot of icing sugar, plus extra for dusting

1 tbsp orange juice

orange food coloring (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 F .Line two muffins tray with 18 muffins paper cups.

Beat the eggs and sugar until color changes and batter is slightly thickened, add the oil in a steady stream while beating, add the yogurt and mix well. Fold in the flour gently, add three quarters of the strawberries and half of the orange rind and fold again till combined. Don’t overwork!! (I made it twice because of over beating)

Fill each case three quarters full with the mixture and bake for 20-25 minutes until the cakes are risen and golden. Turn out and cool on a wire rack.

Sift the icing sugar into a bowl; add the remaining orange rind and the orange juice to make a smooth icing. Stir in a few drops of orange food colouring, if you like.

Using a teaspoon, spoon a little icing on top of each cooled cake .Decorate with extra strawberries or drizzled melted chocolate.

I had to make these, ( I love fairies and the name is great, why are they called fairy cakes?)

The only thing I wanted to mention is you can use natural food colorings, here there has been a lot of research on food coloring causing hyper activity in children, it's really simple to substitute with something like a natural orange food color like one made from 100% natural annatto seeds. ( liquidized)

Very lovely of course! thanks so much.
