Ingredients
- 1 box white cake mix
- 16 oz. white chocolate chips
- 6- or 8-cavity egg-shaped silicone mould
- 1 can yellow frosting, plus pastry bag and star tip
- Powdered sugar
- Red sugar sprinkles (for paprika)
Directions
- Prepare white cake batter according to box instructions and pour batter into silicone mould. Bake, and let cool completely.
- Remove cakes from mould and set aside. Wash and dry mould for the next step.
- For chocolate shells, melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds. With a pastry brush, paint a layer of chocolate in each cavity of the mould. Let cool and then repeat with a second layer of chocolate. Set the mould aside to allow the chocolate shells to harden. You can place the mould in the refrigerator, but it may cause some condensation on the chocolate. Carefully remove shells from mould once they have hardened.
- To assemble the eggs, level the cake tops using a serrated knife.
- Scoop yellow frosting into a pastry bag fitted with a star tip.
- Place each cake into a chocolate shell using a dab of frosting at the bottom of the shell to secure. Sprinkle the top of the egg cake with powdered sugar.
- Pipe on the yellow frosting “yolk” in a small circle at the centre of the egg cake.
- Sprinkle yolk with red sugar sprinkles.
