Ingredients:
- 200g/7oz unsalted butter, softened
- 200g/7oz self-raising flour
- 4 tbsp good-quality strawberry jam
- 250 ml/9fl oz lightly whipped double cream
- 250g/9oz strawberries, hulled
Method
Step 1 - Preheat the oven to 200c/400f/gas 6. Line two 12-hole muffin trays with paper cases.
Step 2 - Cream the butter and sugar together, preferably with an electric whisk, in a large bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy. (This can take 5-7 mins, so this stage should not be rushed).
Step 3 - Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well combined. (If the mixture looks like it is curdling, add a spoonful of the flour).
Step 4 - Fold in the remaining flour with a metal spoon until you have a soft, smooth mixture.
Step 5 - Pipe or spoon the mixture into the paper cases until half full, add a teaspoon of jam and then cover with the remaining cake mixture. The finished cake case should be about three-quarters full.
Step 6 - Bake in the oven for 12-15 mins, or until the cakes are pale golden-brown and spring back when pressed gently with a finger.
Step 7 - Remove the cakes from the oven and set aside to cool on a wire rack.
Step 8 - Using a small knife make a well in the top of each cake by removing a disk of cake.
Step 9 - Fill the well with whipped cream and top with a strawberry.
Step 10 - Serve with a generous dusting of icing sugar.
