Cheats 15 Minute Chocolate Overload Easter Cake
Ingredients
- 1 store-bought chocolate mud cake
- 450 g tub chocolate frosting (or vanilla) you will have some leftover
- 200 g packets chocolate finger biscuits
- Sprinkles or 100s and 1000s to decorate
- Malteser bunnies & mini solid eggs to decorate
Instructions
- Place the chocolate mud cake onto a serving dish.
- Cover the top and sides with the frosting.
- Place the chocolate finger biscuits around the sides of the cake.
- Shake the sprinkles all over the top of the cake (this will prevent the solid eggs from sticking to the frosting).
- Place the Malteser bunnies in the middle of the cake.
- Decorate with mini eggs.
- Secure the cake with a ribbon tied around the outside.
Notes
Don't add to many solid eggs (and keep them away from the edges) or the weight will push the biscuits down.
