Method:
- To make vanilla cakes, sift flour, baking powder, and salt together for 2 to 3 times. In a bowl, beat eggs, sugar, and vanilla essence until fluffy. Add dry ingredients. Add milk and oil. Pour the batter in greased baking tin and bake it for 20 to 30 minutes at 180 degree C in a pre-heated oven. When the cake is done, let it cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before removing from the tin to cool completely. With a butterfly cutter, cut butterflies and put aside.
- For red velvet cupcakes, lightly stir eggs in a bowl, add remaining liquid ingredients and stir until well mixed. Place all the sifted dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir together well. Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix on medium-high speed or until well combined. In a cupcake tray lined with liners, pour a little red velvet batter and place butterflies in the centre. Pour more red velvet over the butterfly. Bake the cupcakes for 10 to 15 minutes at 180 degree C in a pre-heated oven.
- To prepare buttermilk, add 2-1/4 tsp vinegar in a cup and fill with lukewarm milk to make 1/2 cup.
