Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan bake). Place paper patty cases into a muffin tray. This will help support the cakes while cooking. Step 2
In a mixing bowl beat the butter, brown sugar and vanilla extract until creamy. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Step 3
Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and cocoa into the creamed mixture and gently fold to combine, being careful not to over mix. Step 4
3/4 fill each patty case with the mixture. Press an Easter egg gently into the mixture to cover. Bake 15-20 minutes until cakes are cooked. Remove from the oven and stand for 5 minutes. Step 5
Carefully remove the cupcakes from the muffin tray and place on a baking rack to cool completely. Step 6
To make chocolate butter cream put softened butter into a small mixing bowl. Sift icing sugar and cocoa into the bowl. Beat until smooth adding 1/2 Tbsp of hot water if necessary to make a smooth and spreadable consistency. Step 7
When cakes are cold ice tops with chocolate butter cream. While butter cream is still soft create a nest with flake bar and place 3 small candy Easter eggs into the centre of the nest. Tips
