Easter baking ideas
Fill your home with the scent of cinnamon, marzipan and chocolate with our best Easter baking recipes. These ideas for hot cross buns, Easter cakes and chocolate treats are full of Easter magic.
- Hot cross buns galore: Traditionally eaten on Good Friday, it’s hard to beat a fragrant homemade hot cross bun. Try our twists on the theme, including easy hot cross cookies, hot cross banana bread and savoury cheese and chilli versions.
- Easter cakes: Bake a showstopper to slice and share. You can’t beat our best-ever carrot cake and simnel cake is a classic.
- Chocolate inspiration: It wouldn’t be Easter without chocolate. How about a chocolate mini egg traybake or luxurious chocolate Guinness cheesecake for the grown-ups? Try making your own caramelised white chocolate for these dainty madeleines.
- Bakes to make with kids: Our simple no-bake recipes for Mini Egg rocky road and Rice Krispie treats are great for a bake sale and we’ve got easy Easter cupcakes, too.
