This pretty and easy-to-make cake recipe is the perfect centrepiece for any Easter table!



How to make a fancy Easter cake in 10 minutes

Let’s face it. Most of us would love to whip up fancy treats to delight our friends at every special occasion, but time may not be on our side.

With this in mind, we’ve hatched this sneaky recipe. It’s made with two white chocolate mud cakes from Coles and a bit of speedy decorating. This cake takes ten minutes to decorate.

In fact, shopping for the ‘ingredients’ will take longer than whipping it up!

Super easy 10 minute Easter cake recipe ingredients

  • 2 readymade white chocolate mud cakes (we got ours at Coles)
  • 2 containers of Betty Crocker readymade vanilla frosting
  • 1/4 cup of shredded coconut
  • Cadbury mini eggs
  • 6 sprigs of fresh rosemary

Decorations:

  1. Easter themed plastic toy animals – we used 2 bunnies, a sheep and a baby goat (because the shop did not have any lambs!)
  2. 2 skewers, thread or wool, and some coloured paper/glue stick for bunting – tie the wool between two skewers as shown in photos. Glue triangles of coloured paper to form bunting. (I folded a piece of coloured paper and cut a double layered triangle on the fold – which gave me two triangles joined at the fold. A diamond if you like. Then I just glued them together in place over the thread.)

Method

    1. Step 1. Slice those tell-tale pre-iced tops off each mud cake to create a nice flat surface.Ten minute easy Easter cakeTen minute easy Easter cakeTen minute easy Easter cake

    4. Step 4. Tidy up any messy icing bits and sprinkle the cake top with coconut. Then add the animals and eggs. Use some rosemary sprigs to decorate around the bottom of the cake as shown. Snip others into tiny ‘bushes’ to put on top of the cake.Ten minute easy Easter cakeTen minute easy Easter cake

Variations: Cover the sides of the cake with 100s and 1000s or other sprinkles.  Sprinkled coloured sugar on top of cake instead of coconut. Cover the sides of the cake with KitKat fingers. Make a milk chocolate version with chocolate mud cake and chocolate icing. Put flowers on top instead of animals and make for any occasion.

PS: Yes I did add one extra bunny to the main image because it got lost in my shopping bag and when I found it I wanted to make sure it could hang out with its buddies!
