Dirty, Filthy, Non Practise Cakes

In my last post I wrote about the Cadbury Cream Egg cupcakes that I was planning to make.  Now I've made them, and eaten one (un-iced) and I think I want to die.  Without question they are one of the best and worst things I've ever made in my life and I am never, ever going to eat one ever again.  I am going to put one in the freezer for the very tolerant housemate, who gave up chocolate for lent, and has been looking like a kicked puppy since I started talking about making these.

To make these I froze 12 Cadbury Cream Eggs.  Then I made up the cake batter from The Hummingbird Bakery recipe.  I poured about half the usual quantity into the bottom of the cupcake cases.  Then I rested the frozen eggs upright in the batter and pushed them down well.



Unlike the picture I posted last time, my eggs did not uniformly stand up during the cooking and about half of them fell over.  The batter rose around the eggs however and the cakes came out of the oven looking fairly normal, but weighing twice as much as normal cakes should.

I am going to ice them tomorrow, but I had one after dinner.

 
It's a shocking picture.  It was an awful, awful thing to do to a cake.

I definitely have to run 5k tomorrow.  And I am never, ever doing this ever again.  No matter how good it tasted.
