Vanilla Cakes with Raspberries and Cream is an old fashioned recipe but easy to make. This recipe suits beginners however I think that the kids could help you with this one. This is a simple cupcake recipe that is modified by cutting the cake and putting in the cream and raspberry filling.
I usually cut off the top third rather than cutting the cake in half. I have also used strawberries rather than the raspberries recommended. They are great for children’s parties or just something special for dessert. I am not sure how old this recipe is but it is a good one, and worth keeping. Enjoy!

Silicon muffin trays can also be used.
