Tea Cakes

One is chocolate chip and one is lime coconut.




Oops, you can see where I accidentally poked a hole in the poor little cake. 

I was shopping at Marshalls and saw this GIANT muffin tin on clearance and thought it would make cute individual cakes. The pictures are of two of the six cakes I ended up making in the tin. The base for each cake was from the white cake recipe I found here:

If you're going to make six cakes like I did here's what you need do to:
 1. don't add the milk in the recipe. You'll see why later.
2.  divide cake batter into six equal parts (use a scale) and put each part into a cup or bowl.
3. Each sixth needs 1 Tbs and 1 Tsp of liquid. Depending on your cake flavors use milk or lime/lemon juice.
4. Add 1 Tbs of nuts, coconut, fruit, or whatever you want to each cup. I added chocolate chips to one and coconut to another. 
5. Bake at 350 degrees mine took around 30 minutes, your time will probably be different so you need to check on them. 

I ended up with six cakes: lime coconut, lemon, chocolate chip, plain (it was supposed to be vanilla but I forgot to add the extract!), almond, and jasmine. 

Have fun!
