Buttercream cake recipe: Easter treats

Buttercream cake recipe: over the last few days we have posted Easter treats recipes: a macaroons recipe and some chocolate recipes, both ideal for impressing guests. Beyond recipes, on the Easter treats theme, we wrote about Easter traditions: Easter egg history and hot cross buns. Finally we have posted on chocolate and its health benefits: bean to bar chocolate, artisan chocolate makers, Heart Healthy Chocolate Perks and ethical, ‘fairtransport’ chocolate. Today we take the focus off chocolate and look at a buttercream cake recipe.

Fiona Cairns cakes are shown in the post picture. Fiona Cairns made a cake to celebrate Queen Elizabeth’s Jubilee. We have chosen a buttercream cake recipe from another British queen; Mary Berry, the Queen of British Baking. As well as writing the book of that name, Mary Berry has stared in the Great British Bake Off. The recipe takes about 35 minutes to make (including preparation time) and the ingredients should cost no more than a few pounds. For the icing, it is important to use caster sugar which is finely ground. Golden caster sugar is ideal as it unrefined. For the full buttercream cake recipe see BBC Good Food.

The post picture shows Fiona Cairns Seasonal Buttercream Topped Cakes and some Cadbury Mini Eggs. These are golden sponge cakes topped with buttercream, chocolate eggs and sugar decorations. Fiona Cairns is the luxury cake maker and decorator, based in Leicestershire, England. Fiona Cairns made the eight-tier, 17-cake wedding cake for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s wedding breakfast. See our Earl Grey Tea post for more on Fiona Cairns.
