I make an egg/dairy free simple cake using a tyrol cake recipe from one of my mum's old books. this seems pretty similar.
I use soya milk and add a layer of marzipan in the middle then decorate with marzipan balls.

We have hit cross buns in bread and butter pudding as well, 'it's a tradition ....

For an alternative chocolatey treat last year I made beetroot chocolate brownies. Dds loved helping to make them and eating them too I will definitely be making them again this year.

I have some HUGE easter themed biscuit cutters and every year make shortbread biscuits which I then dip in leftover easter chocolate. Yum.

I love a cheesecake, decorated with chocolate Easter eggs. Here's last year's; it was delicious.

Individual carrot cakes with pretty decorations on top.

Hot cross bun pudding made with oatly vanilla custard, piping hot from out the oven I make.

OH makes roast lamb with a herb crust while this year I'm going to make a nut roast with butternut squash and sweet potato.

Make bread and butter pudding with hot cross buns!

Cream egg cheesecake.

We dye eggs, then we but those stickers on, and smother the eggs in lard. We pop them in a basket. It’s very Eastern European 😳
We do make crispy cakes with eggs. Dds love them.

Mini egg muffins here. Look great. Also Easter bunny and chick biscuits.

When I think about Easter I think about coming spring. Spring is my favourite time of the year 😁 so I always get very exited. I get myself lost in a kitchen cooking and baking away. Easter in my house always means eggs, lots of eggs in any varieties, shapes and sizes 😜 But to be honest the things I always look forward the most to show it off are the cakes. There is always a chocolate one, and lemon one with raspberries and frosting and whatever catches my eye in my online recepies serche for inspiration. I always cook with my kids so they dont always come out looking perfect but they always perfect in out harts and taste just divine 🤗

Melted (Easter Egg) chocolate over hot cross buns!

Delicious (not nutritious!!!)

My children like to bake.. so we either make buns or Rice Krispies buns (mixed with melted choc) and add some mini choc eggs on top or a fluffy chic (plastic ones-12 for a £1) it gives it a theme of Easter time!

My family love this recipe for chocolate mug cake. It’s really simple and quick to make.
5tbsp self-raising flour
5tbs caster sugar
1tsp coco
2tbs milk
1 egg
2tbs sunflower oil
8 Mini Eggs
Put all the dry ingredients in and mix together until you have an even-coloured powder. Add the egg, oil, milk and vanilla and stir well until combined and smooth.
Drop in a few Mini Eggs and pop in the microwave for 3 minutes. Decorate with a few mini eggs on top.

Dont flame me as i know it is messed upbut we have sikmnel cake, what with the little balls looking like eggs n all....

Simnel even

For a light main course, I do a Springtime pasta salad with pesto, chicken, asparagus, broccoli and green beans.

cornflake cakes but use chredded wheat instead milk chocolate and mini eggs :D classic but yummy sometimes were fancy and put them pretend chicks on

I tried this last year with some hot cross buns which were left over, and made a bread and butter pudding with the hot crossed buns in place of the bread, I made my own custard with egg yolks and could then reduce the amount of sugar I added, I made half the amount of custard and when cooling added a tub of fromage frais and then poured over the buttered hot cross buns - was delicious x my children are always asking when then can have 'easter pudding' again,

I make tiffin and top it with any left over bits of Easter eggs and chocolate.

I know that strictly this is a Passover recipe rather than Easter, but it falls at the same time of year. Jewish bakeries will have challah bread which makes the best French toast ever.

Pistachio and lemon Easter cake 🍰. It's a sponge cake with pistachio marzipan and lemon cream in the middle...totally delicious 😋. I make it every Easter 🐣

We always have a leisurely breakfast before a long walk on Easter Sunday. Favourite is soft-boiled eggs with asparagus tips to dip. I buy heritage legbar eggs which come in a vsriety of soft pastel colored shells. So pretty!

I make Hot Pagan Buns, basically hot cross buns but I never bother to pit crosses on
