Nest Cakes step by step

Soak the raisins in the orange juice in a small bowl for at least half an hour, or until they are plumped and juicy.
Drain and dry the raisins with a piece of kitchen paper.
Place nine cupcake cases (I usef square shaped sillicone cases) on a baking tray.
Melt the milk chocolate in your preferred way - I break it into a pyrex bowl and put in the microwave for a minute and a half on defrost..
Set the chocolate aside to cool slightly, while in a large bowl you whisk together the melted butter, syrup and egg yolk ( if using).
When combined, add the cocoa powder followed.by the melted milk chocolate..
Use a wooden spoon to stir in all the other fridge cake ingredients, except the Mini Eggs..
Put spoonfuls of the mixture into the cases so they are about half filled, then place two or three different coloured.eggs in the middle of each to look like nests. Press them in firmly. Any excess mixture can be placed in a cake tin as 'chef's perks' and refrigerated along with the nests for at least three hours, but preferrably overnight..
Line a 9*9 inch square cake tin with baking paper and preheat oven to 350F/180C.
To make the brownies, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffly..
Add the eggs little by little, mixing each bit in welll..
Sift in the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder.amd mix in with a metal spoon..
Pour mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 30 minutes at 350F/180C.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool 10 minutes in the tin before removing cake to a cooling rack (run a knife along the sides if it needs help).
Allow cake to cool thoroughly..
To make frosting, melt the milk chocolate, allow it to cool slightly before mixing in the cream cheese until there are no lumps left..
Spread the frosting over the cake, then use a butter knife to demarcate nine small squares in the frosting. Place one nest on each square..
Refrigerate until ready to serve. Cut out individual square cakes for each person..
