Makes 12
ButterFly Cakes
4 oz unsalted butter, softened
2/3 cup caster (superfine) sugar
1.5 cups self-raising flour
1/2 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla essence
2 eggs
1/2 cup cream, whipped to soft peaks
1/3 cup strawberry jam
icing (confectioner’s) sugar, to dust
1.
Preheat the oven to moderate 350 degrees. Line a 12-hole shallow patty tin with paper cases. Put the butter, sugar, flour, milk, vanilla and eggs in a bowl and beat with electric beaters on low speed for 2 min, or until well mixed. Increase the speed and beat for 2 minutes, or until smooth and pale.
2.
Divide the mixture evenly among the cases and bake for 20 min, or until cooked and golden. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
3.
Using a small sharp knife, cut shallow rounds from the top of each cake. Cut these in half. Spoon a half tablespoon of cream into the cavity in each cake, then top with a teaspoon of Jam. Position two halves of the cake tops in the jam in each cake to resemble butterfly wings. Dust the cakes with icing sugar before serving.
