Ingredients

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a 12-hole muffin tray with paper cases.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together flour and caster sugar. Add eggs, butter, milk and vanilla. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Spoon cake batter into prepared tray. Bake in the oven for 15-20 mins.
  4. Make chantilly cream by whipping cream, vanilla bean paste and icing sugar to soft peaks. Transfer to a piping bag.
  5. To construct butterfly cakes, remove the top of each cake using a serrated knife. Cut top piece in half to create ‘wings'.
  6. Remove a small amount from the centre of each cake. Fill with a teaspoon of jam. Pipe chantilly cream on top and secure wings in place
  7. Finish with a dusting of icing sugar and slices of fresh berries in the centre. Serve immediately, or keep chilled.
