Inspired by Mejuri’s Nectar Collection, highlighting beautiful fine jewelry, adorned with butterflies and bees,’ I’ve created Butterfly Cupcakes with jam and cream. 🧁

Recipe 
Ingredients
¾ cup caster sugar
60g unsalted butter (at room temperature) 
2 large eggs (at room temperature)
½ cup milk of choice 
1 ½ tsp coconut oil, melted 
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup plain flour
1 ¼ tsp baking powder 
⅛ tsp salt

Toppings
1/2 cup whipping cream 
½ cup strawberry jam 
Icing sugar for dusting 

Method 
Preheat oven 160°C fan and line a cupcake tray with cupcake liners. 

Cream the butter and sugar together until fluffy.
Add the eggs, milk, coconut oil and vanilla; beat until combined and slightly aerated. 
Fold in the flour, baking powder and salt. 

Distribute the batter between the 12 cupcake liners; bake for 20 - 25 minutes, or until slightly golden and a skewer comes out clean. 

Allow to cool completely before carefully cutting a dome out of each cup cake, then slicing the dome in half. 

Fill each cupcake hollow with a generous amount of jam and lightly whipped cream. 
Place the dome half into the jam and cream so they look like wings. 

Dust with icing sugar before enjoying.
