Method
- Preheat your oven to 180ºC (or 160ºC for fan ovens) and line an 8"/20cm round tin with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, gently melt 115g unsalted butter. Add white granulated sugar and light brown soft sugar, whisking for about 2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
- Whisk in the medium/large egg and 1 tsp vanilla extract until fully blended, creating a rich, velvety texture.
- Carefully fold in plain flour, bicarbonate of soda, sea salt, and cornflour with a spatula until a smooth dough forms.
- Gently stir in the milk chocolate chips and 200g of Easter chocolates until evenly distributed.
- Transfer the dough into the prepared tin and press it evenly across the bottom, ensuring it’s flat for even baking.
- Bake for 25-27 minutes, or until the top looks dry and set without any wobble.
- Allow the cake to cool in the tin for 30 minutes before gently transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the buttercream, beat 75g room temperature butter in a bowl for 2 minutes until fluffy and light.
- Gradually add icing sugar and 0.5 tsp vanilla extract, beating until it turns pale and whipped to a creamy consistency.
- Once the cookie cake is fully cooled, pipe a lovely border around the edge using a star tip.
- Finish by decorating with the remaining Easter chocolates and sprinkles, creating a festive masterpiece.
