quick and easy party cakes!
This is a super quick and easy recipe for butterfly cakes that i through together. I think the lemon- curd adds a nicer texture and taste instead of traditional butter icing that can sometimes be a bit sickly!
The recipe makes about 12 cakes.

Step 1
pre heat oven and line the cake tin with the cases.

gather all the ingredients together and sieve the flour and baking powder into the mixing bowl.

Step 3
add the sugar, eggs and butter into the mixing bowl.

Step 5
add the vanilla essence and water into the mixture and whisk it all up. the mixture should fall off a spoon easily.
-
Step 6
divide the mixture into the cake cases. Place the tray into the oven (middle shelf) and bake for 10 mins.
-
Step 7
after 10 mins check the cakes. I normally turn the tray around to make sure all cakes cook evenly and then bake for a further 5 mins or until they are golden brown and you can put a skewer through the cake and it comes out clean.
-
Step 8
take cakes out of the oven and tray and leave on a baking tray to cool.
-
Step 9
once the cakes are cool cut a shall circle out of the top of each cake.
-
Step 10
fill each hole at the top of the cake with lemon- curd. I use home made lemon- curd but any will do.
-
Step 11take the tops of the cake you cut off and cut them in half to make two small semi- circles. place these back onto of the cakes to look like wings.
-
Step 12arrange cakes onto a stand and dust with a little icing sugar. and voila you're finished!
