A BIG Easter Cake! Creme Egg Chocolate Drizzle Cake
It’s JUST a week away until Easter Sunday, the day when Easter bunny hops around with his basket full of eggs, and egg hunts abound in most people’s gardens, weather permitting of course. It’s a four-day festival, starting with Good Friday and ending on Easter Monday, and there are lots of amazing recipes associated with this wonderful spring feast such as: Hot Cross Buns; Pace Eggs; Roast Lamb and Cakes of all shapes and sizes. As well as all of the traditional fare, I also like to serve treats for breakfast and tea, such as Easter Eggy Bread: Raspberry & Vanilla “Pain Perdu” (French Toast) and some pretty little pots of creme egg desserts with chocolate spoons and chocolate bunnies!

Although spices buns and fresh seasonal lamb and vegetables feature on the Easter menu, it has to be chocolate that steals the show, and although I am more of a savoury person, I DO love a nice piece of chocolate cake or an Easter egg as well as a creamy chocolate dessert. Every year, I always try to create a spectacular cake for Easter, it doesn’t have to have to be chocolate, but it’s nice to indulge in an excess of cocoa by way of a treat; and this year I think I have created my most indulgent cake yet, a towering chocolate mansion filled with chocolate cream cheese, topped with more of the same and then decorated with a white chocolate drizzle, mini chocolate buttons before being adorned with some Cadbury’s creme eggs…..and it’s mega!
A BIG Easter Cake! Creme Egg Chocolate Drizzle Cake
My recipe for Creme Egg Chocolate Drizzle Cake was commissioned by Great British Chefs, and if you fancy making this fabulous cake, then the recipe is here: Creme Egg Chocolate Drizzle Cake on Great British Chefs. But, I’ve not finished just yet with my chocolate baking, so do pop back after the weekend to see what other Easter treats I have up my sleeve……and if you fancy something chocolate for breakfast, then why not make a batch of my CHOCOLATE ORANGE CURD to spread on your toast, or even your Hot Cross Buns.

Before I hop off and make my way to the kitchen for yet more baking…….I also have another chocolate recipe to share that is perfect for Easter, an easy to make and very indulgent ORGANIC CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE CAKE, which is decorated with crystallised violets for a pretty spring theme. That’s all for today, I hope you have found some Easter and Spring baking (and cooking) recipe inspiration in this post – do pop back soon for some more new recipes, kitchen news and chat. Have a wonderful weekend, Karen

Dominic says
ooooh, it’s like the big brother of my little ones… yours looks so gorgeous and just so naughty too… i’ve been munching away on my little cakes all day and now feel thoroughly sick but I could still manage a slice of yours. Absolutely stunning and you have such a beautiful way to make things look to seasonal. Like a classic still life painting, really beautiful Karen. xxx
Karen Burns-Booth says
Thanks Dom! Yes, my cake is the mother to your lovely wee babies! I can’t wait to try my mini bundt moulds now, having seen how lovely your cakes turned out using them.
Laurie says
Thank You Very Much. All of these look “most tempting!”
Karen Burns-Booth says
Thanks Laurie! I hope that you manage to try one of the recipes!
Gill Bland says
Wow. That cake made me chuckle – it should be called “easter fight cake”. It looks like the yummy result of some kids arguing over who gets the last creme egg.
Karen Burns-Booth says
It is rather messy isn’t it Gill! 🙂 But, it tasted great and I have to say that I didn’t have to be that accurate with decorating it! 🙂 Karen

Thanks so much! And, I LOVE your blog name too…..I love milk and honey! Karen
Christina says
Hi Karen, I just wish I could bake and cook with Cadbury’s chocolates like you do! 🙁 I have to treat them like gold, as it’s a rare treat to have “real” Cadbury’s here in the US. Your Easter lineup of chocolate desserts is just phenomenal! Nice work!!
Karen Burns-Booth says
Aw what a shame Christina; what we need to do is a “swap”, I’ll send you some British chocolate and you can send me some Fiesta Ranch Dressing!! LOL! Karen
Elizabeth says
Heaven’s that’s one massive cake! Wowie! My children would love something like this, but I’m afraid my waistline would love it too, so much so it would never let it go! Looks so delicious 🙂
Karen Burns-Booth says
Thanks Elizabeth! It is a rather large cake and we had to call in the troops (friends) to help us eat it! On a NON fast day for my 5:2 diet!
lizzy (Good Things) says
Wow! No other words needed.
Karen Burns-Booth says
LOL! Thanks Lizzy! 🙂

What Kate Baked says
We’ve just enjoyed a mega Sunday roast but I’m still salivating over this gorgeous cake! What a brilliant centrepiece it would be for the Easter table!
Karen Burns-Booth says
Thanks so much Kate – we had to get reinforcements to help us eat it and I have a request to make it next week for a friend!

So naughty and glorious Karen. I noticed my cousin just shared it on Facebook, so it is spreading far and wide!
Karen Burns-Booth says
Oooh! Thanks for telling me Jac, that’s great! I also featured your pancakes in my GBC post too!
Heidi Roberts says
What a stunning cake! I am not a big fan of cream eggs they are too sweet but they do look good on your cake.
Karen Burns-Booth says
Thanks Heidi! Like you I find creme eggs a bit sweet, so this is a great cake for me as I can leave one them off and just have CAKE and no eggs!
Sylvia says
Love it Karen! It’s a little masterpiece with creme eggs must be super delicious! I’m off to the kitchen to make some creme egg milkshake 😉
Karen Burns-Booth says
Thanks Sylvia! WOW! Creme egg milkshake, now that’s a new way to use them too! Karen

Franglais kitchen, Nazima says
what a gorgeous cake – love the cracked eggs on top! definitely one for a feast day!
Karen Burns-Booth says
Thanks Nazima! I am making another one for a friend this weekend! Karen
Johanna GGG says
I love this cake (surprised I didn’t comment when I first saw it) and as soon as I saw it I decided it would be an easter-cum-birthday cake because it looked so spectacular and yet not too hard to put together. I found the white chocolate wouldn’t drizzle so well and I couldn’t find the chocolate cream cheese spread in the supermarket on the day I wanted to buy it (though they do stock it sometimes) but these were minor hiccups and it looked impressive and tasted decadent. Have posted my version on my blog though I wish I could photograph cakes like you – your photos are just lovely.
Fiver Feeds says
Who cares Easter was almost four months ago, I’m going to make it right now, it looks amazing! 🙂 Thanks for sharing this great recipe with us
