Epic Easter Egg Cupcakes

Holy moly it's ALREADY Easter! Well, the weekend... But omg - aside from the religious aspect of it - it's finally the holiday event where we can cheat and eat aaaaall the chocolate eggs hehehe.

This year, instead of doing a huge cake and using someone else's recipe, I thought I'd take a basic one and then play around with it to create my own. And the above pic is what I ended up with... Cupcakes with chocolate coated cornflakes, mini eggs and a surprise in the middle!

Oh you want to know what that is? Let me tell you...

It's mini creme eggs!

Yep, I stuck a creme egg in the middle of each cupcake and let me tell you, it was the best thing I ever did.

If you guys want to know how to make these for yourself, because it actually turned out to be not a disaster as I thought as I was doing it from scratch then read on...

Now excuse me while I eat all of these.




1. Preheat your oven to 190 degrees celcius and put nine cupcake cases in a cupcake baking tray (because this recipe makes exactly nine!) Put the creme eggs in the freezer for 30 mins.

2. Measure the margarine and sugar then cream together till it's light and fluffy. Then add one egg in at a time while beating the first one in before adding the second.

3. Then, weigh out the flour then sift into the bowl and mix together till you have cake batter.

4. Take your creme eggs out of the freezer then fill the cupcake cases halfway, add a creme egg then cover over with more cake mixture. Repeat for all nine.

5. Bake your cupcakes for 15 mins or until golden all over the top.

6. Leave to cool for 30 mins and transfer to a wire rack. Meanwhile, boil a kettle of water and then in a bowl over a pan of boiling water (make sure the bowl doesn't touch the water kids!) melt the bar of chocolate.

7. Once done, take off the heat, add in the cornflakes and mix until all covered. Then taking a spoon, spoon some chocolate cornflakes on to each cupcake to make a nest. Then add two mini eggs onto each one.

8. When all are done, either pop them in the fridge or leave them on the counter to cool and set.

9. Serve and enjooooy wooooo!
