Butterfly Cakes Method

First thing to do preheat the oven to 210 degrees and line 2 trays of 12 patty cake pans with paper cases. Place butter, flour, bicarb soda, sugar, eggs, milk and vanilla into a bowl and beat for 2 minutes. Spoon this mixture into the paper cases and bake for 20 minutes or until when a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. Beat cream and sugar until stiff peaks form. Remove a small section from the middle of the Butterfly Cakes and cut in half to make the wings. Fill the Butterfly Cakes with a little cream and top with the wings. Dust with icing sugar to serve.
