Rather than post a new recipe this week, here’s a round-up of a few recipes which are ideal for Easter and/or to celebrate the arrival of spring.
Click on the recipe title or any of the images to go to the recipe.
4. Double chocolate Easter cake with chocolate buttercream and mini eggs
This is a dense, rich cake which slices beautifully:
3. Shredded Wheat chocolate nests – with golden syrup and mini eggs!
A long-time favourite, particularly if you’re baking with children or need to come up with something for a bake sale or school fete!
2. Chocolate finger cake. Sponge layer cake with vanilla buttercream, a biscuit border and mini eggs
1. Double chocolate nest cupcakes with chocolate eggs
I hope to be back with a new recipe next week! In the meantime, remember that you can find all my recipes in the Recipes Index.
They all look fabulous, Claire 🙂

I have to make more of those nest cupcakes for a children’s party soon 🙂 I hope they go down as well with the other children as they did with my son!

Sorry! I also need to apologise to everyone who has given up chocolate for Lent (I admire their incredible willpower). I’m thinking of going back to bread next week though, which is slightly more diet friendly 🙂
