Recipe

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Step 2: Place the butter, eggs, flour, baking powder, sugar, milk and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat for 4 minutes or until smooth and a pale creamy colour.

Step 3: Line a 12 x 1/2 cup (4 oz.) capacity muffin tin with deep paper cases. Spoon in the mixture to 3/4 full.

Step 4: Bake for 18-20 minutes or until cooked when tested with a skewer. Cool on wire racks.

Step 5: To make the crushed raspberry cream, place the raspberries in a bowl and crush lightly with a fork. Add the cream and icing sugar and fold to combine.

Step 6: To serve, use a teaspoon to scoop out a hole in the top of each cake, reserving the scooped-out pieces. Fill the holes with the crushed raspberry cream and replace the cake pieces.
