For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter. Feel free to experiment with other spices like nutmeg or cloves to customize the flavor profile. These fairy cakes are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For a richer flavor, use butter instead of margarine. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
