Instructions

1. Step 1: In a bowl, whisk 2 large eggs for 10 minutes until airy.

   What to look for: The mixture should be light and fluffy.

   Watch out: Don't rush the whisking; it needs to be airy.

2. Step 2: Add 230g sugar and whisk for another 5 minutes until silky.

   What to look for: The mixture should be smooth and glossy.

   Watch out: Ensure sugar is fully dissolved.

3. Step 3: Mix in 70ml oil, 150ml sour cream, and 1.5 tsp vanilla essence.

   What to look for: The mixture should be well combined.

   Watch out: Avoid overmixing; just combine.

4. Step 4: Dissolve 50g cocoa powder and 2 tbsp instant coffee into 100ml warm water, mix until smooth, and add to the cake mix.

   What to look for: The cocoa and coffee should be fully dissolved.

   Watch out: Ensure no lumps remain.

5. Step 5: Fold the mixture until fully incorporated.

   What to look for: The batter should be uniform in color.

   Watch out: Be gentle to maintain airiness.

6. Step 6: Fold in 160g plain flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1.5 tsp bicarbonate soda, and a generous pinch of sea salt.

   What to look for: The dry ingredients should be fully mixed in.

   Watch out: Avoid overmixing; just combine until no flour is visible.

7. Step 7: Grease your baking tray and pour in the cake batter.

   What to look for: The batter should be evenly spread.

   Watch out: Make sure the tray is well greased to prevent sticking.

8. Step 8: Bake the cake at 160°C for 40 minutes (or 30 minutes for a wider tin).

   What to look for: The cake should spring back when lightly touched.

   Watch out: Check for doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean.

9. Step 9: In a separate bowl, make the ganache by cutting 130g milk chocolate and 70g dark chocolate into shards, then pour 100ml hot double cream and 1 tbsp butter on top.

   What to look for: The chocolate should start melting.

   Watch out: Don't let the cream boil; it should be hot, not boiling.

10. Step 10: Let the ganache sit for a minute before stirring until smooth.

    What to look for: The mixture should be glossy and smooth.

    Watch out: Stir gently to avoid air bubbles.

11. Step 11: For the cornflake mix, melt 150-200g milk chocolate in the microwave at 10-second intervals, mixing fully every 10 seconds.

    What to look for: The chocolate should be fully melted and smooth.

    Watch out: Avoid burning the chocolate; stir frequently.

12. Step 12: Mix the melted chocolate with 200g cornflakes until well coated.

    What to look for: The cornflakes should be evenly coated in chocolate.

    Watch out: Don't crush the cornflakes while mixing.

13. Step 13: Once the cake is baked, cool it until warm, then lather on the ganache and pour on the cornflake mix.

    What to look for: The ganache should be evenly spread over the cake.

    Watch out: Don't let the cake cool completely; it should be warm for the ganache to spread easily.

14. Step 14: Top with halved Cadbury Mini Eggs and serve warm.

    What to look for: The mini eggs should be placed nicely on top.

    Watch out: Serve immediately for the best texture.
