Self-Raising Flour

1. Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced).
Prepare batters by combining each cake ingredient
list into 2 bowls. Use electric beaters until thick and
smooth. Divide each batter equally into 2 bowls of
pure chocolate and pure vanilla.
2. Take ½ cup of chocolate batter and add to vanilla
batter and vice versa. Beat each again to fully
combine. You should have 4 distinct colour batters.
3. Pour each batter into 4 greased/paper lined 20cm
round springform cake tins. Bake for 25-35 minutes
or until a inserted skewer comes out clean. Remove
from oven and leave for 10 minutes before releasing
on a wire rack to cool.
4. Prepare both buttercreams in separate bowls.
Use electric beaters until pale then gradually add
ingredients to each until thick.
5. Using a 6cm round cookie cutter, remove the centre
of each cake and set aside. Stack the cake discs from
darkest chocolate on bottom to vanilla on top with
1cm layer of buttercream between each.
6. Spread remaining buttercream over the top and
down the sides. Gradually add chocolate buttercream
down the sides to the bottom then smooth all over
with a palette knife.
7. Add some of the remaining chocolate buttercream
to the inside of the top 2 layers of the stack. Fill the
centre hole with Easter eggs/marshmallows to third
layer. Crumble 2 of the darkest cake cut-outs to a
fine crumb and mostly fill the remainder of the centre
hole. Leave a trail of Easter eggs and marshmallows
on top of cake, plate and across table.
