DISCLAIMER
I recommend using the Metric measurements (instead of cups & spoons) for more accuracy and better results.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC/gas 6.
- Place the bun papers into a 12-hole bun tin,
- Cream the margarine and sugar together until light and fluffy Add the eggs one at a time mixing well in between.. Now add the flour and baking powder and mix until smooth.
- Fill each paper case with the mixture.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes or until the cakes are golden brown. Lift the paper cases out of the bun tin and cool the cakes on a wire rack.
- To make the icing, beat the margarine or butter and icing sugar together until well blended.
- Cut a slice from the top of each cake and cut this slice in half. Pipe a swirl of butter cream into the centre of each cake and place the half slices of cake on top to resemble butterfly wings.
- Dust the cakes with icing sugar to finish.
NOTE:
If using Plain Flour you will need to add an extra teaspoon of baking powder.
