Layer up the cakes, first piping a ring of buttercream around the edge, and then filling the middle with jam. Make sure all your ingredients (particularly the butter and eggs) are at room temperature before you start baking.Self raising flour, which is very commonly used in the UK where I am based, already contains a raising agent and a little salt too. Next make the buttercream by mixing the butter, icing sugar, milk and vanilla together until smooth. It would make a great centrepiece for a Halloween party, try displaying it with a plastic knife stabbed in the centre!
