Vanilla Cake
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 eggs
pinch of salt
1/3 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a standard muffin tin.
Using a hand or stand mixer, combine the butter and sugar. Beat on high for a couple of minutes until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well in between each addition. Add the vanilla and mix. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt and whisk to eliminate any lumps. Add the flour and milk in alternating additions. Scrape the sides of the bowl and mix one last time.
Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned on the top and when pressed lightly the cake springs back.
To decorate, top with freshly whipped cream and sugared flowers
Sugared Flowers
1 dozen flowers
1 egg white
superfine sugar
Directions
Snip the flowers off leaving a bit of stem.
In a small bowl add two teaspoons of water to one egg white. Using a small paintbrush, gently brush the egg white all over the flower. Dust the flower in the sugar and set aside to dry.
Hi cute idea , daff bulbs are highly toxic not sure about the bloom.
Pansies, violas ,and snapdragons are all safe !
