Peek-A-Boo Cakes image

This is a recipe I got out of a Pillsbury bake-off recipe book. I haven't tried it yet, but the picture in the book looks divine! If you use self rising flour, reduce baking soda to 1/4 teaspoon and omit salt. EDIT: I tried this recipe and thought it was quite good. They don't rise very much, and I'd suggest using less of the butter/brown sugar/water mixture, because it overflows out of the tins while it's baking. Maybe cut it in half (1/8 cup butter, 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/2 tablespoon water).
