Fairy cake mixture:
175g softened unsalted butter
175g caster sugar
175g self raising flour
3 large organic beaten eggs
1 Teaspoon of natural vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 200C
Beat the butter and sugar together until pale and airy, add the beaten eggs slowly and the vanilla and combine. Add the flour and fold in gently, divide between the cake cases and bake at 200°c for around 15 minutes, or until golden.
When the cakes are ready, remove them to a metal rack to cool.

While the sweethearts cakes are cooling, make a buttercream icing...

Buttercream icing:
175g soft butter
350g icing sugar
Clippy’s Apple Pie Jam

Beat the butter and icing sugar together with an electric whisk until well mixed and pale in colour. That's it;  a piece of cake…

When the cakes are cool, slice off the top and cut it in half. Put a teaspoon of Clippy’s jam on the cut cake surface and top with a teaspoon of icing, and put the half-slices of lid back on to look like little wings. Open mouth, insert cake and declare what a marvelous day it has been.
