Easter

A classic vanilla and chocolate marble bundt cake – perfectly sweet, beautifully soft and one of the best I’ve ever baked. Highly recommended.

A wonderfully simple oil-based bundt cake, found in my grandfather’s old recipe notebook. A classic bundt cake that many of you will likely recognise. Dust it with icing sugar, add a cocoa swirl, or drizzle with icing or chocolate – however you like. It’s always

I love reaching for my older cookbooks and baking from them… This traditional Polish royal mazurek is one of the most luxurious versions of the classic. Rich with the finest butter, almonds and fruit preserved in jam, it’s easy to see where the name comes from. It’s well

For those who enjoy fresh, zesty flavours, this one’s a real treat. This passion fruit mazurek is baked in a tart tin and filled with a beautifully tangy, creamy filling bursting with tropical character. It’s a slightly more modern take on the traditional Polish Easter

An indulgent advocaat and fudge cake – soft, fragrant and beautifully tender, with pieces of gooey caramel running through the middle. Hard to resist… I certainly couldn’t. You can also swap the fudge for grated chocolate – it makes a wonderful stracciatella-style version.

A truly royal mazurek… The combination of rose petal preserve, marzipan and chocolate — could it sound any better? This mazurek is incredibly simple to make, yet wonderfully refined and elegant. It’s worth using the very best ingredients, and I’m more than certain it will

A creamy pistachio cheesecake with the addition of white chocolate. Mild in flavour, perfectly sweet, with a beautiful pistachio colour and the silky texture of white chocolate. You can use ready-made 100% pistachio paste, but it’s also easy to make at home.

These are bound to become one of my favourite cookies. They’re best made with lemon curd, though a thick jam works beautifully as a filling too. These shortbread-style cookies with lemon curd are wonderfully zesty — simply divine! Once baked

Dulce de leche mazurek is undoubtedly the king of the Easter table. This version isn’t quite festive, as it was baked in January – more of a mix of dried fruits and nuts. For Easter, I recommend decorating it with a decorative pastry edge – it will look beautiful! It’s absolutely delicious

Apricot mazurek with meringue and almonds is a beautiful combination of a buttery shortcrust base, a vibrant dried apricot filling with a hint of orange, and a crisp, delicate meringue topped with flaked almonds. The meringue layer adds lightness

Amazing Easter bundt cake. This lemon yoghurt bundt cake is fluffy and wonderfully moist, though you can brush it with a little lemon syrup if you like. A simple lemon icing is the perfect finishing touch. Highly recommended!

I was wondering what cheesecake to bake for the upcoming Easter, and this Advocaat cheesecake with chocolate chips was the result. It’s delicious, smooth and quite boozy (definitely not for children), yet the egg liqueur flavour doesn’t overpower the cheesecake.

Lemon tart is an absolutely delicious bake – truly irresistible. I’m completely won over by this taste. It’s perfectly sweet, with a bright, refreshing lemon flavour… light and wonderfully spring-like. Highly recommended!

Florentine mazurek is a wonderfully decadent, packed with dried fruits and nuts, making it perfect for the upcoming Easter celebrations. Its name comes from Florentines – chewy almond cookies with dried fruit – which are baked on top of a delicious shortcrust

Speckled Easter eggs are easy Easter cookies– colourful and dotted with chocolate. There’s nothing complicated about them, and you can easily involve children in the fun of icing or creating the speckled effect.

Classic Viennese cheesecake is one of the most famous, beloved and distinctive Polish cheesecakes. Tall, elegant and wonderfully light, it’s made with whipped egg whites and, if you like, dried fruit. It has a deeply golden crust and is traditionally dusted

Cinnamon swirl bundt cake is a cake made with sour cream and a cinnamon swirl running through the middle. It’s delicious, wonderfully moist and filled with the warm aroma of cinnamon. Perfect for the weather outside, which still can’t quite decide whether it’s already

An irresistible lemon cheesecake with lemon curd and Italian meringue. The essence of spring baking. A biscuit base, creamy cheesecake filling with a gentle lemon note, a layer of tangy lemon curd and plenty of sweet, cloud-like meringue covering the top. The whole dessert is inspired
