Ingredients

8.5 tbsp butter (at room temperature)
0.9 cup sugar
3 eggs
1.5 cups flour
1 packet baking powder
1 pinch salt
0.8 cup milk (warm)
0.4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Nutella®
mini eggs (chocolate)

Tools

To make the Cocoa Nest Cake with Mini Eggs, you will need:

1 Bowl
1 Mixer
1 Cake Pan

Steps

First, preheat the oven to 350°F, in static mode.
Dissolve the unsweetened cocoa in the warm milk. Beat the sugar and butter with an electric mixer until you get a light cream. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating at medium speed.
Incorporate the flour and baking powder, the dissolved cocoa in milk and a pinch of salt.
Pour the mixture into a bundt pan, buttered and floured, (if you use a silicone mold, it’s not necessary to butter and flour) distributing it evenly in the pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the skewer comes out clean. It took me 38 minutes.
Obviously, cooking times vary from oven to oven. To check the baking, insert a toothpick (or a piece of spaghetti) into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, it’s done. If it’s sticky and moist, the cake is not ready yet.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes on a metal rack, gently move the mold to ensure the cake detaches from the mold and demold.
Heat the Nutella for a minute in the microwave, put it in a piping bag and draw stripes on the surface of the cake to simulate the branches of the nest, and finally, insert the colored chocolate mini eggs.
Here’s the Cocoa Nest Cake with Mini Eggs ready. Enjoy your meal!
Happy Easter to all of you!
