Velvet Spray Heart Cakes

Dolce, Cioccolato, San Valentino

Ingredients

  • 200 g butter (room temperature)
  • 200 g caster sugar
  • 200 g self raising flour
  • 4 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 140C fan.
  2. Beat your butter and sugar together until it's light and pale in colour.
  3. Add your flour, eggs and vanilla and mix until just incorporated. I don't sift my flour. If there is too much air  they can shrink away from the cases as they cool.
  4. Scrape your bowl and ensure there aren't any unmixed ingredients. Give it one last mix for a short time.
  5. Use an ice cream scoop to fill each cavity. I use one heaped scoop per case.
  6. Bake in your preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. Mine took 23 minutes. Test if your cakes are cooked by pressing the tops lightly. If the cakes spring back they are ready to come out of the oven.
  7. Leave to cool in the tin for 5 minutes.
