With the first two of my strawberries ready, (birds got the first one) I wanted to make something with them that we could all (4 of us) have a taste. I decided to make the Lamington version of Butterfly Cakes from "Ladies, A Plate" by Alexa Johnston.
I actually started off just making the plain cakes then decided at the last minuted to make the Lamington ones. If I had known that these little cakes are actually very easy to make and not really that much hassle I may have made them years earlier. I only made up half of the recipe for the Lamington syrup, that was plenty. Fortunately it keeps in the fridge so should have enough left to make the recipe again, although I am keen to try the Raspberry Lamington version next.
I usually get a very ho hum response from my adult children when I ask them what they think of something I've made so for my eldest to say that I should open up a little cake shop is very high praise!! The cakes were delicious very moist and the strawberries delicious as well, can't wait for more to ripen. I think adding them to the Butterly cakes was a fairly good way of making two strawberries go a long way and still feel like we had a good taste.
