For 12 – Prep time 15 mins – Cook time 20 mins Suitable for freezing (cake only) All you need is...- 200g butter, softened
- 200g caster sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 200g self-raising flour
- 3 tbsp milk
- 12 small strawberries, hulled
- 300ml whipping cream
- 2 tbsp icing sugar
- 12-hole muffin tin and paper muffin cases All you do is...
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan), 200°C, gas mark 6. Line the muffin tin with paper muffin cases. Using an electric whisk, cream the butter and caster sugar together till fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, with the vanilla, beating in between. Fold in the flour and then the milk.
- Divide among the cases and bake for 20 minutes till golden and firm. Cool for 2 minutes in the tin then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Carefully cut a 1p coin-size hole in the top of each cake with a small, sharp knife (the spare bits are the cook's perk). Now gently push a whole strawberry into each hole.
- To make the topping, with an electric whisk, whip the cream and icing sugar until fairly stiff. Spoon the cream into a large food bag and snip a little hole in one corner. Pipe the cream topping in whirly round swirls onto the cakes.
