While shop shelves may be filled with giant chocolate eggs, baskets and Easter bunnies, there’s a whole host of other seasonal sweet treats to be discovered away from the supermarket. From hot cross buns to simnel cakes, for centuries Easter has been associated with baking, meaning that the four-day break is the perfect opportunity to create some beautiful baked goods. So, whether you’re a fan of tradition and are looking to whip up some hot cross buns at home or prefer to add a new twist on the celebrations with a zesty roulade or bundt cake, OK! has rounded up four show-stopping seasonal bakes to give a go this Easter.
Bundt cake Serves 10-12 Ingredients 225g softened butter, plus extra for greasing 400g golden caster sugar 6 eggs 1 tsp vanilla bean paste 50ml maple syrup 350g self-raising flour, plus extra for dusting 1 tsp cream of tartar 100ml whole milk 200g blueberries, plus more to decorate 100ml water 400ml double cream 1 tbsp lemon curd Method Preheat the oven to 170°C/150oC fan/gas mark 3. Grease a 25cm bundt cake tin with butter and dust with flour. Cream together the butter and sugar.
Whisk in one egg at a time until smooth. Mix in the vanilla bean paste and maple syrup. In a separate bowl, sift the flour and cream of tartar.
Add the milk then fold gently into the batter until combined. Spoon the mixture into the bundt tin and give the tin a gentle tap so the mixture is level and fills all the gaps. Place in the middle of the oven and bake for 50 minutes until lightly golden and a toothpick comes out clean when put in the middle.
Let the cake cool before turning out. While the bundt is cooling, simmer the blueberries and water until it has reduced by half. Press this through a sieve, discard the skins then
