Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4 and lin 2 x 12-hole fairy cake tins with paper cases.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing until the egg is completely incorporated into the batter before adding the next. Add a tablespoon of flour if the mixture curdles.Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Fold in the flour using a large metal spoon until no traces of flour are visible. Gently fold in the milk to loosen the mixture.
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared tins so that they are ⅔ full. Bake the cakes for 15-20 minutes, or until golden-brown on top and springy to the touch. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes on a wire rack before removing from the tin.
- To make the buttercream, beat the butter in a large bowl until soft. Add half of the icing sugar and beat until smooth.
- Add the remaining icing sugar, cocoa powder and one tablespoon of the milk and beat until creamy. Beat in more milk if necessary to loosen the icing.
- Once the cakes are cool, spread the buttercream icing on top of the cakes. Decorate the cakes with the chocolate buttons.
