This was an eventuality. Its that time of year, chocolate Easter eggs have been on sale for just over a month and we are falling captive to the various supermarket deals on those moreish eggs that are only available for a few months a year.
There seems to be lots of recipes using Cadbury Creme Eggs, brownies in particular. So thought I might as well make a Cadbury Creme Egg cake...hope you enjoy making this one.. super easy and fairly damn impressive! (Makes a brownie-like cake)
