1

Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C Fan/Gas Mark 4. Grease and Line a baking tray 15cm x 20cm.

2

Place the margarine and sugar into a bowl and cream together until smooth and creamed. Add the eggs and Vanilla Extract and beat together until smooth, if the mixture begins to curdle add a spoonful of flour and continue to mix. 

3

Sieve the flour and Baking Powder on top and gently fold together until completely mixed. 

4

Place mixture into the prepared baking tray and smooth the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until risen and lightly golden in colour. Leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes and then remove from the tin and place on a wire rack to cool completely. 

5

To Decorate

Once the sponge has cooled using a round cutter about 6cm in diameter, cut out 6-8 circles of sponge. 

6

Cut each circle of sponge in half horizontally, this will allow you to fill the mini cakes. Separate the sponge layers leaving the top half to one side.

7

Place the Buttercream in a piping bag fitted with an open star nozzle. Spread a thin layer of jam onto each cake base and pipe a rose swirl of buttercream on top and place on the sponge tops.

8

Dust the cakes lightly with icing sugar. Pipe a small blob of buttercream onto the top of each cake and place a Wafer Daisy on top. Your cakes are ready to serve!
