Easter Basket Cake

  1. Preheat the oven to 325u0b0F. Grease a 9 inch springform pan and sprinkle with flour. Beat the butter, marzipan, sugar, vanilla extract, almond extract and a pinch of salt until creamy. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Mix the flour and baking powder together and beat into the egg mixture. Spoon into the pan and smooth out. Bake for 50 mins, or until a skewer comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan on a wire rack.
  2. Remove the cake from the pan. Place a 5 inch diameter bowl in the middle and cut a circle around it, then cut to 2 inches deep and remove the sponge.
  3. Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water. In a bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar with a hand mixer. Stir in the cream, then the melted chocolate. Spread over the cake. Mix the milk and dark chocolate sprinkles and sprinkle over the cake. Chill for 30 mins.
  4. Just before serving, fill the hole with chocolate eggs.
