Scotch Creme Egg

It just wouldn't be Easter if we weren't putting creme eggs in everything...

Supplies

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 160c and grease and line a 20 centimeters cake tin.
  2. Cream together the butter and sugar then add the eggs, self-raising flour, baking powder and cocoa powder.
  3. Pour the mixture into the cake tin, spreading evenly and bake for around 25 minutes, until the cake is firm. Allow cooling.
  4. Remove from the tin and crumble in a food processor until it resembles breadcrumbs.
  5. Add 75 grams softened butter and 120 grams icing sugar and mix until a firm dough is formed.
