It wouldn't be Easter without a little chocolate, would it?
Ingredients
- 65g low-fat spread, melted
- 50g flour (plain)
- 1⁄2 tsp baking powder
- 1 egg
- 50g caster sugar
- 60g milk chocolate, roughly chopped
- 20g mini chocolate eggs, very finely chopped
Directions
1
Brush a Madeleine tin with a little of the spread, being sure to coat all the ridges. Dust over 1 tbsp of flour and shake off any excess. Chill in the fridge while you make the cake mix.
2
Sift together the remaining flour and baking powder in a small bowl. In a second bowl, beat the egg and vanilla until pale and thick. Add the sugar and continue to beat vigorously for about 2 minutes, until thick. Stir the flour into the egg mixture then fold in the remaining melted spread and chill for 30 minutes.
3
Preheat the oven to 190°C / 170°C (fan oven) / 375°F / Gas Mark 5. Spoon the chilled batter into the prepared moulds, filling almost to the top. Bake for 11-12 minutes. Let cool slightly, then remove from the tin and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
4
Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of boiling water. Dip each cake into the melted chocolate and sprinkle over the mini eggs. Transfer to a wire rack to set.
