Volcanoes/Butterfly Cakes
This is an ancient recipe of my Mums...
You Will Need:
For Cake:
4oz Margarine
4oz Caster Sugar
4oz Self-Raising Flour
2 Eggs
2 Desert Spoons of Milk
Pinch Of Salt
2oz Dried Fruit (optional - personally I hate dried fruit so alway leave it out...)
For Butter Cream:
Icing Sugar
Vanilla Essense
Margarine
Jam or chocolate cream/pieces
Method
Cake
1. Put all ingredients in a bowl
2. Mix for one minute
3. Place cake cases in a baking tray
4. Put a dollop of the mixture in each cake case
5. Bake on middle shelf of oven, Gas Mark 5 (approx. 375F 190C) for 15 mins
Leave to cool
Butter Cream
1. Take a small amount of icing sugar and place it in a little bowl
2. Add a drop of vanilla essense
3. Add a small amount of margarine
- There's no exact measurments for this - just keep adding the ingredients until you get the consistence you want.
When cakes have cooled, cut a hole in the top of each one to create a kind of crater. Fill each crater with the butter cream and jam/chocolate.
Take the little piece of cake you cut out and cut it in half. Place the 2 pieces on top of the cream and jam/chocolate to create butterfly wings. Or just plop the while thing on top, like in the example above lol!
Tada! :D
