A coconut & poppy seed sponge cake with a chocolate Shredded Wheat nest topping!
I've been making my Nana's amazing chocolate nests every Easter for years and this year, I decided to mix it up a bit, using the nest mixture to top a cake.
The cake is a basic sponge with coconut and poppy seeds inside and is sandwiched with clotted cream and jam. It's then topped with Shredded Wheat and sesame seeds mixed with milk chocolate, sesame seeds and Mini Eggs.
