A scrumptious selection of easy Easter baking recipes, as shared by fellow food bloggers.
This week, I’m delighted to be hosting #CookBlogShare, featuring a round-up of four easy Easter recipes as shared by fellow food bloggers for #CookBlogShare Week 9.
When I was browsing through the different recipes submitted by other bloggers as part of last week’s link-up, I found myself drooling over all the Easter-inspired dishes I came across. So, with Easter just around the corner, I’m featuring four of my favourite easy Easter recipes from #CookBlogShare Week 9 in my recipe round-up.

4 Easy Easter baking recipes
Creme Egg Chocolate Cake
This Easter-inspired Creme Egg chocolate cake from Kat at The Baking Explorer is filled and piped with a two-tone icing to mimic the filling of a Cadbury’s Creme Egg and topped with a moreish mix of halved Creme Eggs, mini Creme Eggs and sprinkles.
Simnel Traybake Cake
A fruit cake with two layers of sweet marzipan, Simnel cake has been a pre-Easter tradition since Medieval times. Traditionally, the cake is decorated with eleven balls of marzipan – one for each of the disciples, except for Judas.
For a quick and easy twist on the traditional Simnel cake this Easter, Janice of Farmer’s Girl Kitchen has rustled up a simnel traybake cake.
Hot Cross Bun Doughnuts
It wouldn’t be Easter without a hot cross bun or two and in this contemporary twist on the classic, Cat from Curly’s Cooking has shared her recipe for hot cross bun doughnuts. The mere thought of these is enough to make me drool and when I look at the Cat’s photos, I want nothing more than to reach out and grab one.
German Easter Bread with Marzipan
If you’re looking for something a little different to serve this Easter, Marita from My Dinner’s German Easter wreath bake could be just the thing.
Shaped like a wreath, this sweet yeast bread is traditionally eaten all across Germany at Easter time. Packed with marzipan and almonds, it makes for the perfect opportunity to indulge your sweet tooth if you’ve been avoiding doing so over Lent.
