Base
Heat the oven to 180° or 350°F gas mark 4. Using two separate bowls place half of the butter castor sugar flour baking powder and eggs in each bowl. Beat with an electric whisk until light and fluffy.
Mix the cocoa powder with 30 mL or 2 tablespoons boiling water until it makes a smooth paste. Add this to one of the cake mixes to the other. Grease and line two 8 inch cake tins.
Spoon the mixture into the tin alternately to create a marble pattern. Level with a knife. Cook for about 20 to 25 minutes until the cakes bring back when lightly touched. Turn out and roll on a wire rack.
Base Icing
Break up chocolate. Melt in a bowl over a pan of simmering water. Put butter and icing sugar in a bowl, add the chocolate. Whisk until smooth. Spread a little on 1 cake, place the other cake on top, cover top and sides with the rest.
Decorations
Decorate with mini eggs. To add white chocolate drizzle, melt broken pieces of milky bar into a bowl over a pan of simmering water. Snip a small corner of a plastic food bag, pour chocolate into a bag and drizzle. |
