Ingredients

Chocolate loaf cake

  • 300 g Margarine or unsalted butter I use Stork Original
  • 300 g Golden caster sugar
  • 3 large Eggs At room temperature
  • 220 g Self-raising flour
  • 80 g Cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp Milk
  • 6 whole Cadbury Creme Eggs Roughly chopped

Decoration

  • 450 g Icing sugar
  • 6 tbsp Water
  • Orange food colouring
  • 2 whole Cadbury Creme Eggs

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • Lightly butter a 2lb loaf tin (I used this one by Circulon) and line with greaseproof paper (see notes in the post above). Set aside.
  • Stir the dry ingredients (flour and cocoa powder) together in a bowl and set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the margarine and sugar together until creamy.
  • Mix in the eggs one at a time, adding 2 tablespoons of the dry ingredients after each egg to stop the mixture from curdling.
  • Add the remaining dry ingredients and gently fold the mixture together until smooth and fully combined.
  • Fold in the milk and chopped Creme Eggs.
  • Spoon the chocolate cake mixture into the loaf tin, smoothing it out the top.
  • Bake for 55-60 minutes* until risen and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out free of crumbs. Leave in the baking tin for 15 minutes, then lift the cake out onto a cooling rack and leave to cool completely.

Decorate the loaf cake

  • Mix the icing sugar and water together in a bowl. The texture of the glace icing should be thick but still pourable.
  • Spoon 2 tablespoons of icing into a separate bowl and colour it orange.
  • Pour the white icing over the top of the loaf cake, letting it drip down the sides. Then dollop spoonfuls of orange icing on top.
  • Chop the Creme Eggs in half and place down the middle of the cake.
  • Slice into 12 and serve!

Notes

Store your Creme Egg Chocolate Loaf Cake in an airtight container, at room temperature, for up to 3 days.
*If the loaf cake starts to burn on top, you can lightly place a sheet of foil on top, but only do this after 45 minutes (otherwise the cake will sink in the middle when you oven the oven).
