Chocolate Fudge Easter Cakes
This is from the BBC Good Food Website
Makes 16 (I got 18)

140g soft butter
140g golden caster sugar
3 medium eggs
100g self-raising flour
25g cocoa , sifted

FOR THE FROSTING ( I only made half this amount and it was plenty)
85g milk chocolate, broken
85g soft butter
140g icing sugar , sifted
2 35g packs white chocolate maltesers,
mini foil-wrapped chocolate eggs
We use Fairtrade Divine milk chocolate eggs from Waitrose
I used Green and Blacks Caramel Mini Eggs and Cadburys mini eggs

1. Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5 and put 16 gold cases into a fairy-cake tin. Tip all the ingredients for the cake into a mixing bowl and beat for 2 mins with an electric hand-whisk until smooth. Divide between the cases so they are two-thirds filled, then bake for 12-15 mins until risen. Cool on a wire rack.

2. For the frosting, microwave the chocolate on High for 1 min. Cream the butter and sugar together, then beat in the melted chocolate. Spread on the cakes and decorate with Maltesers and chocolate eggs.
