Easter recipe: the nest cake

Tired of the usual Easter dessert or chocolate egg? Try this classic Italian recipe: the ring nest cake.

Ingredients:

For the cake:

  • 12 oz of flour
  • 5 oz of sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 2.5 oz of condensed milk
  • 2 oz of whole milk
  • 3.5 oz of olive oil
  • 0.5 oz of baking powder
  • 1 grated orange peel (better if organic)
  • 1 pinch of salt

For the filling:

  • 14 oz of mascarpone cheese
  • Nutella as required

For the decoration:

  • 3.5 oz of chocolate sprinkles
  • Small chocolate eggs with colorful sugarcoat

Preparation:

What we propose here is a delicious chocolate cake, decorated with traditional colored eggs, that you can easily buy at the supermarket.

  1. Start by preparing the cake: sift the flour and baking powder. In another bowl, put the eggs, flour and salt, and whisk them until frothy. Then add the orange peel.
  2. Add the olive oil slowly, mixing the batter and then add the condensed milk and whole milk.
  3. Add the dry ingredients slowly, mixing until the batter is without clumps.
  4. Use a 20 cm ring baking mold and pour the mixture, flattening it.
  5. Cook the cake in a pre-heated oven at 170°C or 338°F for 50 minutes. After the baking, let it cool down.
  6. In a bowl, mix the mascarpone cheese and the Nutella until you obtain a smooth cream.
  7. Cut the cooled down cake in halves, and fill it with the cream (you can use a sac à poche).
  8. Put the two halves back together, then cover the surface with the rest of the cream.
  9. Finally, decorate the surface with the chocolate sprinkles. Put in the fridge for at least half an hour.
  10. To complete the cake, put the sugarcoated eggs inside the cake hole, until you’ve created a “nest” full of chocolate eggs!
