  • Whilst the instant pot pressure cooks the chocolate cakes make the Thermomix buttercream. Add a few drops of green food colouring until you have your preferred level of green.

  • Then when the cakes are cool, add a little buttercream to the bottom of your cake board as this will help keep the cake in place. Then add the bottom cake, follow this up with a layer of buttercream and then sandwich the other cake on top. Then cover the top and sides with buttercream. Then finish by decorating the cake with mini eggs and other easter chocolates. Allow to set in the fridge for an hour or two for the buttercream to fully set before slicing and serving.

Notes

Colours. You can also go with different colours for different seasons. How about a Halloween orange with leftover Halloween candy?
Chocolate. For extra chocolate for decorating we had a Maltesers bunny, some lindt chocolates, mini egg chocolates and I think we had some Galaxy too.
