Baking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C Fan, 350°F).
  2. In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of plain white flour, vegetable shortening, and vegetable oil to create a smooth paste for greasing the bundt tin.
  3. In a large bowl, mix white caster sugar and baking margarine until pale and creamy (3-5 minutes).
  4. Add eggs one at a time to the mixture, whisking thoroughly after each addition.
  5. Sift in self-raising flour and cocoa powder; gently fold them into the mixture.
  6. Fold in whole milk to loosen the batter.
  7. Spoon the batter into the prepared bundt tin, filling about three-quarters full.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the tin for about 10 minutes, then turn onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. In a bowl, whisk together icing sugar, cocoa powder, and milk until smooth and glossy.
  11. Pour the icing over the cooled cake and top with chocolate mini eggs and halved creme eggs.
