Foreign Eggers

A little late on the updates but I'm a full time playa with a jam packed agenda at the moment. Bringing it back to the UK hip hop vibes, with this three layered bake off inspired by the trio..Foreign Beggars though to be fair every time I've seen them I swear there has only been two of them... Anyway Easter is just round the corner so this one is the perfect treat to fuel your Easter egg hunt.

You will need: 

10oz butter

10oz sugar

8oz Self raising flour 

2oz Cocoa

1 large bar of Dairy Milk

5 Eggs

2 Tablespoons milk

For the Icing/ topping:

500g Icing sugar

200g Butter

Vanilla extract

Whipped double Cream (couple spoonfuls)

1 Tablespoon Cocoa

1 Bar Dairy Milk

Mini Chocolate Eggs

Method: 

I haven't really been stretching my baking capabilities lately mainly because I just don't have to time to go shopping for all the ingredients so have been winging together various twists on sponge classics, 

Simply beat the butter and sugar together to form a creamy soft texture then cracking the eggs in one by one and stirring as you go. You then need to sift in the flour, gonna be honest I didn't have a sift so mine took a lot of mixing to make sure there were no bumps...no one wants a mouthful of flour in their slice. Add the milk into the bowl to make your sponge super tasty and fluffy! Now this is completed you need to take a third of the mixture out for the chocolate layer. 

Once separated you can mix in the Cocoa and melted bar of chocolate, I used dairy milk but any kind would do the job and even mix the game up and throw a mint aero flavour in there if ya'll fancy. 

Just pop the mixtures into 3 sponge circular tins ( 2 for vanilla and the chocolate one) and cook on 150c for 35 minutes/ until golden and springy. 

Now for the icing. I made two types one for between the sponges and one to cover the cake. Firstly you will need to beat the butter and Icing sugar together and mix in the whipped double cream, I kind of judged this as I went along so it totally up to you how creamy you want to make the icing. Now split in half and add the vanilla essence to the first one and melted chocolate and cocoa to the other. Again its personal preference which way round you use the icing, I used chocolate for the sandwiching between the sponges and vanilla to cover it but mix it up, marble that shit do what ever yo want! 

Once iced for can place your foreign mini Eggers on too of the cake and voila!

I'm gonna say the only album to listen to whilst having this bake off has gotta be 'Stray Point Agenda' with your ultimate track ( probably best to whack it on whilst cakes are in the oven ) being this banger...brings back so many uni memories...
