How to Make Cherry Fairy Cakes

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a muffin tin with 18 paper liners.
  2. Sift together the flour and salt in a large bowl.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gently fold in the sifted flour mixture until just combined.
  6. Stir in the cherries and milk until evenly distributed.
  7. Fill each paper liner about ¾ full.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cakes cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Decorate as desired (optional).
