Use the batter to fill 20-24 small bun cases. Remember – butterfly cakes are around half the size of cupcakes, so the recipe will make a lot. If you want to bake a small size cake then one good idea would be to make a flying butterfly on the top of the cake. Here is a pink butterfly cake. It’s just as easy to make orange butterfly cakes. Just swap the lemon zest and juice for orange and, if you don’t have orange curd to hand, how about topping your buns with some grated chocolate orange? Vegan butterfly cakes
Process all crust ingredients in a food processor . Transfer into a 5" springform pan and press down into an even flat crust. Freeze while working on next step. The size of the eggs doesn’t matter too much (I always use medium) but just be sure you’re using free-range eggs.Blue Spirulina is another possibility. The colour intensity of the spirulina powder is a bit stronger than the Butterfly Pea. Start with 1 teaspoon added to the flour. If the final colour of the batter does not look perfect, you might add also another ½ -1 tsp.

As a big fan of David Lynch's movie Blue Velvet, I've always dreamed of making a blue layer cake. But I don't like using artificial food dyes. And turns out that a natural blue cake is possible with the right ingredients. In this case I used Butterfly Pea Powder but you will find other options below.For the butterflies I used patchwork cutters that give a really pretty veined texture on the surface, but any cutters or butterfly texture mats will give a very similar style. You can then put your butterflies together to look like they have their wings open or create a slightly closed up butterfly, which I love, as they look like they have actually landed on the cake. I finally landed on what I think is the perfect solution: blue butterfly pea flower powder. That's what's coloring this cake. All natural. All simple. All the blue shades you'll ever need. And more (since blue powder has some magical chameleon properties I'll tell you about in a minute).
