Easter egg nest cake from Feast - Food That Celebrates Life (UK) (page 169) by Nigella Lawson

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Very sweet but enjoyed by all

    Our family are all chocolate lovers and we love how rich this is. A absolute gem and I’m sure we will make this for many Easters to come.

    A lovely cake and very easy to make. When whipping the cream to make the ganache, don't whip much further than runny (no trails) as the chocolate thickens immediately when added.

    I love that this cake collapses on itself to create a bed for the whipped ganache and chocolate eggs. This was very rich though and may have been (dare I say it?) too chocolatey...
