Let’s crack on with this 6 egg cake recipe!

Ingredients:
good quality jam
6 Clarence Court eggs and the equivalent weight of:
self-raising flour
butter
sugar
Icing:
600g icing sugar
300g unsalted butter, softened
2 caps of vanilla

Method

Pre-heat the oven to 170C and line the base of two 20cm cake tins.

Beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy – this takes some time and is best done in a Magimix.
Gradually beat in the eggs.
Add the flour to the mixture and mix until just combined.
Divide between the two tins and cook in the centre of the oven for approximately 35/40 minutes.

Remove from the oven and leave to stand for a minute or two then turn out onto a cooling rack, peel off the paper and cool.

Place one cake on a plate and spread it with jam and place the second cake on top. Bum to Bum.

For the icing; simply beat the icing sugar, butter and vanilla together until smooth (here you can add a food colouring of your choice).
Smother the icing evenly over the surface of the cake and top with whatever chocolate eggs/treats you decide are the most delicious…

Voila! The tastiest Easter cake you’ve ever set your taste buds on! 😍
