Ingredients
Asda Sugar Coated Mini Eggs, to decorate
150g Asda Dark Chocolate (60% cocoa solids), broken into squares
175g unsalted butter
1 tbsp golden syrup
175g self-raising flour
25g cocoa powder
125g soft brown sugar
2 large free-range eggs
100ml whole milk, plus 1-2 tbsp
100g icing sugar
Method
1
Pre-heat the oven to 160C/140C Fan/Gas 3. Line two bun trays with paper cases. Put 100g of the chocolate, 125g of the butter and the golden syrup in a bowl and stand it over a pan of simmering water until the chocolate is melted. Remove the bowl. Set the mixture aside until cool but still liquid.
2
Sift the flour and cocoa into a bowl and stir in the sugar.
3
Lightly beat the eggs with 100ml milk. Add to the chocolate, then stir in the flour until evenly mixed.
4
Spoon into the cakes and bake for 20-25 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
5
Melt the remaining chocolate as before. Leave until cold but still liquid.
6
Beat the rest of the butter with the icing sugar and 1-2 tbsp milk until creamy. Beat in the chocolate. Spread on the cakes and decorate with mini eggs.
