Chocolate Mini Egg Cake

by Sarah Butler

 

Preparation time
1 Hour
 
Cooking time
35 Minutes
 

Ingredients

240g self-raising flour
2 tsp baking powder
4 eggs
390g caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
230 ml milk
4 tbsp butter
70g vegetable oil

Chocolate Frosting:
140g softened butter
50g cocoa powder
230g icing sugar
70ml water
1tbsp vanilla extract

To decorate:
1 pack of chocolate fingers
Mini Eggs

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 190C / 170C fan/gas 3, then grease and line two 9” round cake pans.
  2. Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla for 4-5 minutes until pale and fluffy, and add vanilla extract.
  3. Sift in the flour and baking powder and fold into the mixture just enough to combine.
  4. Warm the milk in a saucepan and add butter until melted then add it slowly into the batter, mixing at low speed until everything is combined.
  5. Divide the mixture between the two cake tins and bake for 25-30 minutes until the sides begin to shrink away from the tin. Allow cooling for 10 minutes in the tins before placing them on a wire rack to cool completely.


To make the frosting:

  1. Mix the butter using an electric mixer on medium-high speed for five minutes until light and fluffy.
  2. Sift the cocoa powder and icing sugar and gradually add to the butter while mixing constantly.
  3. Once all is combined, add the water and vanilla extract and whisk for 5-10 minutes (it should be spreadable easily, if not add a little more water and mix.)
  4. Once the cakes are fully cooled, sandwich them together with some frosting spread.
  5. Spread the remaining frosting on the top and sides of the cake.
  6. While the frosting is still soft and acts like glue, line the chocolate fingers around the side of the cake.
  7. Fill the top of the cake with mini eggs to complete it.
