Argh! Thought I'd used self raising flour but used plain instead - how can I rescue my cakes?

Am making fairy cakes and have used the last of the butter and eggs. I have mixed in plain flour instead of self raising (!!!) by mistake - is there anything I can do to rescue the cakes? Can I put some baking powder in or something?

I've just made a pudding with 175g plain flour and 1 teaspoon of baking powder, so I'd use just 1 with the amount of flour you have.
