Como fazer Victoria Sponge Butterfly Cupcakes

Preheat oven to 180°C (Gas Mark 4). Line a 12-hole cupcake tin with paper cases.
**Make the Cupcakes:** In a large bowl, cream together 115g softened butter and 175g caster sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 3 large eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
In a separate bowl, sift together 175g self-raising flour and 2 tsp baking powder. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract.
Fill each cupcake case about ¾ full. Bake for 17-20 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cupcakes cool completely in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
**Make the Buttercream:** In a separate bowl, beat 115g softened margarine until smooth. Gradually add 300g sifted icing sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract.
**Assemble the Cupcakes:** Once the cupcakes are completely cool, carefully slice the top off each cupcake horizontally. Cut each top in half to create the butterfly wings.
Spoon a dollop of your favorite jam (about 1 tsp) into the center of each cupcake base. Top with a dollop of buttercream (about 1 tbsp).
Place the two halves of the cupcake top on either side of the buttercream, angling them slightly to resemble butterfly wings.
Dust with icing sugar (optional) and serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
