Cadbury-Stuffed Cupcakes

Frozen Cadbury eggs encased in cake batter, baked till golden, topped with buttercream swirled with creamy filling, crowned with egg halves. The center stays soft, moist but not soggy. Use large liners to hold size. Frosting gets a flavor punch from real creme, not just sugar. Frost and top right after cooling. Baking cues? Look for springs back tops, light browning. Toothpick test fails here, batter surrounds a solid egg. Chill eggs beforehand to avoid melting inside and help distribution. Add espresso powder to batter; intensifies chocolate undertones. Swap shortening for cream cheese in frosting for tangy richness. Avoid overmixing creme or frosting thins out. Watch oven closely; oversized cupcakes bake faster inside.
