I have a special recipe: Easter Egg Cake
Use your favorite dark chocolate cake
Prepare as directed
Prepare tiny loaf pans/large loaf pans - whatever you want - and it may depend on how many you want to make.
Bake according to directions
Now the fun begins. Hopefully you have a collection of decorating gels; frosting; sprinkles, etc
Get your creative juices in gear and remove a cake from the pan. Carve off the rounded top so the cake can sit level (yes, you are going to present the cake upside down).
Now, the cake is on a plate with the bottom on top - and you’re going to shave the square corners down so the cake piece looks like a half a chocolate egg (oval shape) laying on a plate. Next, frost the “egg” with dark chocolate frosting; and smooth out the frosting the best you can. You can use a shell type frosting if you choose.
Now it’s time for all the decorating stuff. Just go crazy, or do your best to draw flowers, stars, etc. Any color will do; just make it look like a decorated chocolate egg.
This is a fun project - and it’s a total surprise to everyone you give it to.
HAVE FUN !! I know I will.
