Not quite as speccy as these butterfly cupcakes<\/a>, but delicious nonetheless!<\/p>\n

I found this recipe here<\/a> and although it feels redundant, I’m transcribing the recipe in case that site disappears or something. I was pretty sad when the original blog post with my bacon and choc-chip cookies recipe disappeared…!<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/h2>\n

Cupcakes<\/h3>\n

115g butter or margarine
\n112g (1\/2 cup) caster sugar
\n1\/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (1 teaspoon natural vanilla essence)
\n2 large eggs, lightly beaten
\n225g (1 1\/2 cups) self-raising flour, sifted (I never bother with sifting)
\n145ml (1\/2 cup + 1 tablespoon) milk<\/p>\n

Filling<\/h3>\n

188ml (3\/4 cup) thickened cream
\n1 teaspoon icing sugar
\nAbout 2 to 2 1\/2 tablespoons jam (about 60g)
\nExtra icing sugar, for dusting<\/p>\n

Method<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius (180 degrees Celsius fan forced).<\/li>\n
  2. Beat butter, sugar and vanilla in an electric mixer until light and creamy.<\/li>\n
  3. Gradually beat in eggs.<\/li>\n
  4. Add half the flour and stir in by hand. Stir in half the milk. Repeat with remaining flour and milk. Beat with an electric mixer for just a few seconds, to thoroughly combine the ingredients.<\/li>\n
  5. Spoon the mixture into patty pans.<\/li>\n
  6. Bake for about 13-15 minutes. The cupcakes are ready when a knife or skewer inserted into the centre of a cake comes out clean. Also, the cakes will bounce back when lightly pressed in the middle.<\/li>\n
  7. Allow cakes to cool completely before cutting and filling.<\/li>\n
  8. Hold a sharp, pointed knife at a downward angle and cut a shallow cone from the top of each cupcake.<\/li>\n
  9. Cut the cone in half to create the ‘wings’.<\/li>\n
  10. Whip cream with icing sugar until thick.<\/li>\n
  11. Place about 1\/2 teaspoon of jam in each cake.<\/li>\n
  12. Top with a heaped teaspoon of whipped cream. Position the ‘wings’ in the cream. Place a small dollop of jam between the wings and dust with icing sugar.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Makes 15 cupcakes.<\/p>\n
