Step 1

crumbled madeira cake in a bowl

Get your madeira cake and crumble it between your fingers into a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Add ready made icing and stir

Add the ready made icing to your cake crumbs and stir. It's easier if you use your fingers! It might feel dry at first but as you continue stirring the mixture will become softer.

Step 3

shaping mixture in to balls

Divide the mixture into four and roll each piece into a ball shape. Put in the fridge for about and hour until firm.

Step 4

pouring chocolate on to the cake balls

Take the cake balls out of the fridge and put them onto a wire rack. Use a wooden spoon to pour the melted chocolate over them.

Step 5
