This may be partly my fault I won’t lie, as I am also obsessed – I much prefer these sort of cakes in comparison to regular fondant covered cakes as I love chocolate and frostings and all things delicious. You can have so much fun with the decoration on a drip cake, especially when its at easter and you can make it into a mini egg cake. Mini eggs are perfect on mini cupcakes because they appear larger on top of them. These are also the perfect size for kids as a treat.

Cupcakes - you can buy cupcakes from the grocery store, use a cake mix, or make homemade vanilla cupcakes. You could also use chocolate cupcakes instead of vanilla. Childish as it may sound, cutting the cupcakes in half to reveal the hidden creme eggs is so exciting. It's like opening a Kinder surprise egg, you can't wait to see what's inside.While the almond buttercream and chocolate layer cake are perfection simply on their own, I think we need to spot light this insane Cadbury creme ganache filling inside. I never thought I would melt down 8 large Cadbury creme eggs and turn it into ganache but it had to have been one of the best choices I have ever made. I’m not huge on big Cadbury creme eggs on their own. Mostly because I can never finish them because they are just so rich ya know?! When you melt them down and add in heavy cream it creates the most luscious, silky unique filling. Paired with cake it is beyond wonderful. Store bought cake mixes will make approximately 60 mini cupcakes. You may have some mix leftover you can use to bake extras with. So Easter baking season is well underway, this year I’ve found myself a little obsessed with these gorgeous sugar-shell coated chocolate mini eggs. Perfectly bite-sized, these are fab little chocolate morsels perfect for just munching on, but I love incorporating them in my bakes too! If you feel like your oven temperature might be the problem, invest in an oven thermometer to get a more accurate reading.

Chocolate Cake: Well, to be fair you could use any flavor cake – but my favorite is chocolate. I’m using 4 cake layers that are 5” in diameter and 1” tall. Since it’s Easter, and I’m in a rush, I’ve cheated and bought a couple of mud cakes from my local supermarket. If you have time, do make your own (the cake will taste better). I recommend this chocolate cake recipe (although if you bake a 5″ cake, you’ll need to adjust the cooking time). That said, any recipe that yields a cake with a dense crumb will work ( mud cakes are a popular choice for this reason). If your ganache isnt fully melted after the mixing the chances are that the cream wasn’t hot enough – heat it for 10 seconds at a time in the microwave until its smooth. Its important to leave it to cool before decorating the cake otherwise it might melt the cake. Small round cookie cutter: you’ll need something like this to cut a circle out the middle of the cake. I’m using an expresso glass, because it’s about the right size and I already had this at home. We top this Mini Eggs Easter cake with chocolate frosting and Cadburys Mini Eggs. I use ready made Cadbury Chocolate Icing but you can always make your own chocolate buttercream frosting or ganache if you want to. You could also cut the cake in half lengthways and add a layer of frosting in the middle too – or even vanilla buttercream for a nice flavour combination – and create a simple Easter layer cake.

Whip together your frosting ingredients and let your cake layers cool completely before frosting and decorating. See our Rice Krispie Easter Nests for another cute and easy Easter treat. Ingredients Needed to Make Cadbury Mini Egg Cupcakes There are a few important tools you'll need for success with this mini eggs cake! First, for your cake layers you'll need a kitchen scale to measure out your dry ingredients. I also recommend using a stand mixer if you have one. If not, a hand mixer will work too.

If you're not serving your cake right away, be sure to keep it refrigerated. 30 minutes before serving, set it out at room temperature so it isn't cold.For this Cadbury Mini Eggs cake recipe we usually use caster sugar or granulated sugar but light brown sugar works really well too. It’s such an easily adaptable recipe to use whatever you have to hand at the time. If like me, you are obsessed with Mini Eggs all year round, you can find many other Mini Egg recipes on my blog. There is a loaf cake, a layer cake and even millionaires shortbread– YUM! Enjoy! Raising agent. This recipe uses self-raising flour, so the agents that make cakes rise (bicarbonate of soda and cream of tartar) have already been added to the flour. There's also 1/2 tsp of baking powder. For the dairy milk, use plant milk. I like to use unsweetened soya milk when baking as I find it most neutral and stable, but you can use whichever is your favourite. Once the decorations have set, transfer your cakes into a suitably-sized container, keeping them to a single layer.

Self raising flour: I use self raising flour for this bake, for a lighter cake. If you don’t have self raising flour, add an extra ½ tsp baking powder to plain flour instead.
