  that it is streaked. turn mixture into a greased 9 inch ring tin and
  spread level.

  Turn on to a wire tray and leave to cool. Beat butter until soft,
  then gradually beat in icing sugar and remaining orange juice.
  
  Melt chocolate for decoration, as before, and beat into buttercream
  to make a smooth mixture. Split cake in half. Spread both halves with
  jam and sandwich back together.
  
  Place cake on a plate and, using a small palette knife, spread
  chocolate buttercream over surface, leaving it rough in appearance.
  
  Using a sharp knife, cut flake bars into long pieces and arrange over
  cake to give a nest effect. Fill centre of cake with Mini-eggs.
