Easter is a time for eating chocolate right? but no one has time to slave in the kitchen when they should be Easter Egg hunting; so here is a super quick recipe that you can whip up this weekend with minimum fuss and maximum impact!
Makes 8-12 depending on the size of your cases
For the cakes:
110 g Butter
110 g light brown sugar
Pinch of baking powder
75g self raising flower
2 eggs
25g coco powder
For the topping:
1 bag mini eggs
110g butter, softened
170g icing sugar
55g cocoa powder, sifted
1-2 tbsp milk
1) Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 5/190 fan
2) Sift the flour and coco powder into a bowl and then add the rest of the ingredients, beat with an electric mixer until smooth
3) spoon the mixture into your cupcake cases and bake in the oven for 15-20 min
4) Cream the butter, icing sugar and coco into a bowl and mix well. loosen with milk if necessary
5) When the cakes are cool put your butter-cream into a piping bag (I used Wilton star tip 1m) and pipe a line of icing round the circumference of the cake, add a blog in the center and place 3-4 mini eggs on top
There we have it, how easy was that?
Happy Easter Everyone!
