Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F/325 degrees F fan-forced. Line two 12-hole (2 tablespoons) deep mini muffin tins with paper cases.
-
Beat butter, extract, sugar, eggs, sifted flour and milk in small bowl on low speed with electric mixer until ingredients are just combined. Increase speed to medium; beat about 3 minutes or until mixture is smooth and pale in color.
-
Drop slightly rounded tablespoons of mixture into paper cases.
-
Bake cakes about 20 minutes. Stand cakes in pans 5 minutes before turning, top-sides up, onto wire racks to cool.
-
Using sharp, pointed vegetable knife, cut a circle from the top of each cake; cut circle in half to make two "wings". Fill cavities with jam and whipped cream; position wings on top of cakes.
Why this Butterfly Cakes works for PCOS
Desserts on a PCOS plan are not banned, but timing and pairing matter. Eating sweet foods immediately after a balanced meal (rather than on an empty stomach) blunts the blood sugar response, since protein and fat slow gastric emptying. This Butterfly Cakes works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
