Easter Treat! // Scrumptious Chocolate Cake

Hey guys,

Sorry it's been a while, I had a lot of school work, but now I'm going to post a bit more regularly. I hope you like my new header, lovefromlouu ( lovefromlouu.blogpost.co.uk ) made iit for me so check her out!

Anyway, here's a easter chocolaty treat cake for you to indulge in over the Easter break!

Recipe

You'll need:

• 200g /7 ounces of butter
• 200g / 7ounces of caster sugar
• 4 eggs
• 4tsp vanilla extract
• 200g/ 7 ounces self raising flour
• icing sugar and cocoa mixed until good consistency
• 2-3 bars of 250g chocolate, mini eggs and chicks to decorate

How to do it:

1. Set the oven to 190 degrees or gas mark 5. Cream the butter and sugar than gradually add the eggs, flour and cocoa at the end (a dash of, don't go too mad, it's rich stuff!) Then add the vanilla extract.
2. Take two baking tins out and evenly spread your mixture into the two tins so they are both of an equal amount. Place in the oven for aprox 20 minutes and then check.
3. Leave both parts of the cake to cool for at least 20 minutes (be patient with this, although it's hard to resist the temptation to carry on!)
4. Mix 3 ounces or so of butter with icing sugar and cocoa. Carry on until you have enough to fill the cake. Gently pour onto the top on one of the halves then stick them together.
5. Break your two or three bars of chocolate into quarters (half then half again) and put them in a saucepan. Gently stir over a low heat, constantly moving the chocolate around so it doesn't burn on the bottom of the pan.
6. When the chocolate is fully melted, pour it out onto the top of your cake. Then place your decorations on the top and admire, then tuck in!

I hope you've enjoyed this Easter post and that you all have a lovely Easter holiday! Enjoy opportunity to eat far too much chocolate ;)
