Instructions
- Preheat the oven, line bun tins with paper cases
- Beat 175g butter and caster sugar together until pale and fluffy, add lemon rind. Whisk in the eggs, a little at a time, sift in flour and fold into the mixture, then fold in milk.
- Spoon into cake cases and bake for 12-15 mins until turning golden.
- Whilst the cakes are cooling, make the butter icing.
- To make butter icing, beat 50g butter, sift icing sugar and add a little at a time. Mix in lemon curd.
- Once the cakes are cool, use a sharp knife to slice off the tops, then cut the tops in half. Using a teaspoon, spread the buttercream on top of the topless cakes, then gently push the freshly cut two semi-circular halves into the buttercream on each cake, doing this at an angle to look like butterfly wings.
- Add sprinkles if you like, then serve and enjoy!
