Easter Toffee Fudge Caramel Traybake

I am off to Nepal for the whole of the Easter holidays, crazy I know. I can hardly believe it myself. So, I decided to bake something in the spirit of Easter, which is bound to be celebrated in quite a different fashion in Nepal, if in fact at all. I have no idea!

What popped into my thoughts for my Easter bake was the Cadbury’s Caramel Easter bunny……. remember? A carton rabbit with one of those voices that never leave you, quite seductive, smooth and coquettish. I always wanted to run down to the sweet shop and buy a bar after watching the caramel pouring out of the  chocolate in a most satisfying way.

That is how I arrived at my Easter toffee fudge caramel traybake. A toffee flavoured sponge spiked with nuggets of fudge. It is gloriously decked with  toffee caramel buttercream, smashed mini eggs, chocolate shards, fudge chunks and caramel sauce. It is a cake that is so loaded up with goodies that I defy to you eat more than one slice.

I would like to wish you all a very Happy Easter, early I know, but this is likely to be my last post until mid April. I hope to tell you more about my travels as well as Nepali food on my return…………
