Vickys Easter Nest Cake with Mini Egg Truffles, GF DF EF SF NF

Level off each of the cooled cakes, putting the offcuts into a bowl

Place some squares of parchment paper on a cake board and put one of the cakes on top

Cut a 3 – 4 inch diameter circle out of the middle of the other. It’s easiest to find the centre point then mark the area with a tablespoon to get the curve shape

Like this

Crumb the cut out piece into the bowl with the other offcuts and add mix in some buttercream, 1 tablespoon at a time to make cakepop mix until the crumb is easily moulded into balls

Roll all of your truffle mix into balls then make the balls more egg shaped and set aside in the freezer for 15 minutes

Spread a layer of buttercream on the bottom cake and sandwich the cut out cake on top

Cover the whole cake in a thin layer of buttercream and let sit in the fridge to set for an hour

Melt 150g of the chocolate chips in the microwave or over a bain marie

Take the cakepop eggs out of the freezer and coat in the melted chocolate

Place on parchment paper to set for 20 minutes or until the chocolate is hard

Wrap the set truffles in the foils

Try one, they’re gorgeous lol

Give the cake another skim all over with fresh buttercream

Melt the remaining chocolate chips as before

Toss the cereal in the cooling melted chocolate. I broke my Nutribix biscuits up first. If using cornflakes etc, leave them whole

Press all over the cake, inside the cut out area too. This is very messy!

Let the cake set at room temperature then remove the pieces of parchment paper

Fill the hole with the truffle eggs and decorate with Easter cake decorations if you like

Yum!!
