Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert, Treat

Total Time 30 minutes

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 15 minutes

Yield Makes 10

Number Of Ingredients 12

110g butter , softened
110g caster sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
110g self-raising flour
½ tsp baking powder
1 tbsp milk , plus 2 tbsp if needed, to loosen the buttercream
strawberry jam (optional)
sprinkles (optional)
300g icing sugar
150g butter , softened
2 tsp vanilla paste

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line a cupcake tin with 10 cases. To make the sponge, tip the butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, flour, baking powder and milk into a large mixing bowl and beat with either a hand whisk or electric mixer until smooth, pale and combined. Divide the batter between the cases and bake for 15 mins until golden brown and a skewer inserted in the middle of a cake comes out clean. Leave on a wire rack to cool.
  • While the cakes are cooling, make the buttercream by beating together the icing sugar, butter and vanilla until pale and fluffy. Mix in the extra milk if the icing feels too stiff.
  • Once the cakes are cool, use a sharp knife to slice off the tops, then cut the tops in half. Pipe or spread the buttercream on top of the cakes, then gently push two semi-circular halves into the buttercream on each cake, doing this at an angle to look like butterfly wings. You can serve the cupcakes at this stage, or decorate them with a little blob of jam in the centre and a scattering of sprinkles, if you like.

  • Bake 1 white cake recipe in two 6-inch round cake pans (the layers may take a few extra minutes to bake). Cool the layers to room temperature. Remove them from the pans and place each on a sheet of parchment paper. Stack the cakes and wrap them in plastic wrap. Freeze for no less than 6 hours, preferably overnight. Remove the cakes from the freezer, but leave them covered in plastic wrap until ready to use. Bake the second white cake recipe in a 9- by 13-inch cake pan. Level the cakes if needed. Make the buttercream. Sift the powdered sugar to remove any lumps. Mix it in a bowl, along with the milk, corn syrup, and 2-3 drops of pink gel food coloring, until combined. Add more milk as needed to achieve the desired consistency. Set the glaze aside. Center a 2-inch cookie cutter on top of one layer and gently press down to create a guideline. Repeat on the second round layer. Insert a small, thin knife about 1 inch into the center of your cake at a 45-degree angle. Cut around the cake as far as the guideline. Remove the excess cake and crumbs. Using a small spoon or dull knife, start carving around under the guideline, pushing the spoon slightly under the line and keeping a peak in the middle. This is the “small wing,” or lower portion, of the butterfly and thus the bottom of the cake. Repeat these cuts on the other round layer, only make the cavity wider and slightly deeper. This is the "large wing," or top, layer. Make a cake mixture using the 9- by 13-inch cake by removing any dark or hard spots from the cake, crumbling 3/4 of it into a large bowl, and mixing in 3 to 6 tablespoons of buttercream and 2 to 4 drops of pink gel food coloring. To add eyes to the large wings, crumble the remaining cake into a medium bowl and mix in 1 to 2 tablespoons of buttercream. To get the dark rim you see on the lower wings, pour 1/4 cup of the pink glaze into the well of the bottom layer of the cake. Set the cake aside so the glaze can settle evenly. Roll a small piece of the pink cake mixture into a snake. Softly flatten the snake in your hand and gently press it into the sides of the "large wing" (top) layer and up the center point. Repeat with more pink cake mixture so that the hole and point are covered in a layer of pink. Repeat with the second layer, taking care not to disturb the pink glaze. Roll a small piece of the white cake mixture into a snake about 1 inch thick. Tuck the snake into the "large wing" (top) cake layer. Then go back and fill in the open areas of both layers with pink cake mixture. Place a thin layer of white buttercream around the top outside rim of the “small wing” (bottom) layer, taking care not to get any frosting on the pink part, then transfer the bottom layer onto a cake stand. Gently turn over the "large wing" (top) layer and place it on top. Freeze the cake for at least 1 hour, then cover it in a crumb coat (a thin, even layer of buttercream meant to seal in any loose crumbs). Tint the remaining buttercream pink (except for a tiny bit for the butterfly) and cover the cake in a smooth coat of pink buttercream. Using a #104 tip, pipe out a white butterfly (4 wings) to sit on the edge of the cake. Or add more butterflies for more impact! Chill the cake until serving.
