Hey buddy got your answer when I was in aussie land dodgeing kangeroos met a nana who made these little cakes. The little lady cakes she called Gloria the little boy cakes she called Bruce a good old aussie male name ..Don't ever call these a fairy cake in aussie land it has a different meaning to the word down under.

When is a Fairy really a Fairy. published 2007 chapter nine .. A cup of tea and a fairy cake.

Fairy cakes or fancies, fairy cakes are usually round with the top cut off then in half and stuck back on to look like wings. An ordinary Genoise sponge mix will do the job. Also a good basic sponge mix is the square mix. Equal quantities of butter eggs sugar and self raising flour. you can add whatever flavour to the mix. If using cocoa then reduce the flour by the amount of cocoa,

It does sound like your nana was making what we call Whoopie cakes,fairy cakes are cooked in paper cups and are topped with icing. They may have been known as drop cakes originally as you just drop the mixture on to a baking tray.
