    • Butterfly Cakes

    Ingredients
    1½ cups (6oz) self-rising flour
    4oz superfine sugar
    4oz soft margarine
    2 large eggs
    Pinch of salt
    Butter Icing Ingredients
    2oz confectioners’ (powdered) sugar
    ¼ stick (1oz) soft margarine or butter (at room temperature)
    1 or 2 drops of vanilla extract

    Cooking Instructions
    Preheat the oven to 375°F, then line a muffin pan with paper baking cups. Now put the flour, soft margarine, superfine sugar and eggs into a large mixing bowl and beat until smooth.

    Next divide the mixture between the baking cups - tap the pan lightly to settle the mixture. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the cakes are golden and well risen.
    Then transfer the cakes to a cooling rack.

    When cool take a small sharp knife and cut a circle from the top of each cake. Then carefully cut the circles in half to make ‘butterfly wings’.

    To make the butter icing beat the confectioners’ sugar and the butter to a light cream. Then add the vanilla extract and mix again.

    Now fill the hollow of each cake with butter icing; then arrange the half circles on top of this so that they look like a butterfly’s wings.
    Lightly sprinkle with sifted confectioners’ sugar.
