Christmas Tree Fruit Cake ( In a Sandwich-maker )
*********************************************************

Makes : 8


Ingredients :

• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/4 cup caster sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/4 tsp.  vanilla essence
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp.  baking powder
• 1 to 2 tbsp.  milk
• 1/4 cup tutti-frutti or candied fruit, chopped

Method :

• In a bowl, beat butter and sugar together until creamy. Beat in egg and vanilla.
• Sift in flour and baking powder, beat on low until well combined.
• Add milk, if the batter is too thick. Fold in tutti-frutti or candied fruit.
• Brush the inner sides of the sandwich maker ( cooking surface ) with cooking oil. Close and heat until the light turns red.
• Spoon your cake batter in each well until full but not overflowing.
• Close the lid of the sandwich maker and cook for approximately 3 - 4 minutes or until golden brown ( Check after 3 minutes with a toothpick, if the tooth pick comes out clean, it's ready. If not, cook a little longer ). 
• Remove and transfer to a plate. Repeat this process with remaining batter.
• Serve plain, sprinkled with icing sugar or drizzled with thin icing, for a more festive look.
• For icing, combine a little icing sugar and enough water in a bowl to make smooth and thin icing. Add in green food color.
• Drizzle icing over cakes, decorate with tutti-frutti or candied fruit.
• Insert an ice cream stick into the middle of each cake and serve.
