Best Easter cake recipes

Bake up a storm over the long Easter weekend with these brilliant Easter cake recipes. You’ll find cakes to feed a crowd, showstoppers and easy treats to make with little helpers in our best Easter cake recipes collection.

Chocolate cake lovers are in for a treat. Scroll on for plenty of chocolate Easter bakes to try, including a decadent rocky road roulade festooned with chocolate eggs, a rich vegan chocolate cake and John Whaite’s showstopper caramelised white chocolate and tahini cake.

Maxed out on chocolate? (Okay it’s never happened to us, but we hear it’s possible).  Mix it up with other springtime cake recipes like our best-of-the-best carrot cake. Try a pretty lemon and poppy-seed loaf or a gorgeous rhubarb and custard layer cake topped with curls of roasted rhubarb, which makes a spectacular dessert for Easter Sunday lunch.

Traditionalists will love our classic Simnel cake or mini Simnel cakes, while there’s also some fun Easter treats to make with the kids. Cute Easter lamb cupcake anyone?

We firmly believe that these are our best-ever Easter cake recipes and hope you love them.
