Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Grease then line 2 x 20cm cake tins with baking parchment and grease the parchment too.
- Crack the duck eggs into a large mixing bowl. Add the sugar and whisk for about 5 mins until pale and fluffy. Keep whisking as you add the melted butter, a little at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
- Fold in the flour and baking powder with a large metal spoon until you can't see any pockets of flour. Divide the mixture between the two prepared tins and bake for 35 mins or until bouncy to the touch and a skewer poked into the middle of the cake comes out clean. Leave the cakes to cool in the tin, then turn out onto wire racks when cool enough to handle.
- To make the buttercream, tip the butter into a big bowl and whisk with an electric hand whisk. Add the icing sugar, 2-3 tbsp at a time, until it's all incorporated, adding the milk halfway through the process. Scrape the seeds out of a vanilla pod, add them in and whisk again. Transfer half the buttercream to another bowl and, if using, stir your food colouring into one of the mixtures. I used blue and a dash of green to create a classic duck egg shade.
- When the buttercream mixtures are ready and the cake is cold, level the cakes with a bread knife, cut each one in half through the middle and stick all the layers together with the uncoloured buttercream. Cover the whole cake with a thin layer of the coloured buttercream - this will seal in any crumbs. Chill the cake for 30 mins, then cover with the rest of the buttercream and use a palette knife or pastry scraper to make the buttercream flat.
- To finish, sprinkle about 1/4 tsp of cocoa powder onto the cake to create a speckled design. Repeat this in different sections of the cake, then top with a cluster of mini chocolate eggs and serve. Will keep for 2-3 days.

16 SPANISH EGG DISHES YOU NEED TO TRY - SPANISH SABORES

- Tortilla de Patatas (Spanish Potato Omelet) If you only try one Spanish egg dish, make it this one. Tortilla de patatas (also commonly called tortilla española) is easily one of the most popular dishes (egg-based or otherwise) in the entire country.
- Huevos Rotos (Broken Eggs) Huevos rotos is one of those dishes that can vary greatly from region to region. But the basic concept is always the same: eggs fried in olive oil, yolks nice and runny, laid atop fried potatoes.
- Pisto con Huevo (Ratatouille with Fried Egg) Zucchini, tomato, onion, potato, and bell pepper are stewed together to create a rich, slightly sweet pisto.
- Huevos Rellenos (Deviled Eggs) One of the easiest Spanish egg dishes is simple deviled eggs. Spanish deviled eggs usually involve some type of seafood and are often made using canned tuna, tomato paste, mayonnaise, and a light sprinkling of paprika.
- Tortilla Francesa (Scrambled Egg Omelet) A “French omelet,” as it’s called here in Spain, is a thin layer of scrambled egg often folded in thirds. It is eaten by itself or with a quick sprinkling of salt.
12 DELICIOUS DUCK EGG RECIPES TO TRY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
From morningchores.com
- Duck Egg Brownies. Brownies were what got me started with this whole love of duck eggs so it is only natural to start here. My student prefers to use a store bought mix to make her brownies.
- Maple Custard. This was the second recipe I had to try after making sure that it was okay to eat duck eggs. Despite the richer flavor of the egg, the lack of sugar in this recipe means that it is not as sweet.
- Duck Egg Over Hamburger. I personally would not have thought of this; however, when an owner/chef of a five-star restaurant recommends a duck egg over a hamburger in a manner that makes your mouth water, you do not second guess him.
- Steak and Eggs. Since we are on the topic of great meats that pair well with eggs, steak and eggs should be something that we eat during a time in which we can really savor it.
- Bacon Hash with Fried Duck Egg. If you are more of a potato person, then this should be right up your alley. The great aspect of this recipe is that you could tweak it to what you like, omitting the shallots and adding peppers or whatever you prefer.
