Easter is My Favourite Holiday

April 3, 2019July 5, 2019 athomealot

I love Easter. It’s in the spring time, the kids have two whole weeks off school and there is lots of chocolate! What’s not to love. You don’t even have to be religious to enjoy Easter, but if you are then you’ll know how uplifting the Church Service can be on Easter Sunday.

I’m going to visit some of my favourite Easter related things in this post. I may contain links to other sites and even affiliate links, just thought I’d let you know.

Easter Bonnets

My Children are too old for Easter Bonnets now, but here’s some we made earlier.

Easter Treats

Easter really is the time for treats, I know, I know, chocolate is a treat, but we’ll come to that later. Good things come to those that wait. First of all, how about Easter Cakes. I am a big fan of the Simnel Cake. I just adore marzipan (probably more than chocolate!)

This is my tried and tested recipe for Simnel Cake

We made some yummy Easter Chocolate bark way back in 2013, It was fun and easy to make but my photography is not so good.

Easter Eggs

Do you have an Easter Egg Hunt on Easter Sunday? We do one at home but a couple of years ago we went to a local National Trust Property to do one. We may just do it again this year. You can find out if there is a hunt near you by clicking here.

Finally, here is a pick of a few of my favourite eggs from Cadburys!

Chocolate Orange Torte

Chocolate and orange make a delicious combination and both are included in this torte. With a sweet pastry base, a chocolate and orange filling and topped with oranges there is lots to like about this recipe.

Put half the sugar and the measured water in a saucepan and heat gently until the sugar has dissolved.
Add the orange slices and cook over a low heat for 30 minutes until the oranges are tender and most of the syrup has evaporated. let cool.
Roll out the pasty on a lightly floured surface until a little larger than a greased 9 1/2 inch fluted loose-bottomed tart tin.
line the tin with the pasty and chill for 15 minutes
Line the tart with nonstick baking paper, add baking beans and place on a baking sheet.
bake in a preheated oven, 190C gas mark 5 for 10 minutes
Remove the paper and beans and bake for a further 5 minutes until golden and crisp.
Reduce the oven temperature to 180C, gas mark 4
Beat together the butter and the remaining sugar in a bowl until light and fluffy.
Add the ground almonds, then gradually beat in the eggs until smooth. Set Aside
Reserve 10 of the best orange slices, then drain and chop the rest.
Stir the chocolate into the almond mixture, then mix in the chopped oranges.
Spread into the tart case, arrange the reserved orange slices on top and bake for 30 minutes.
Let cool for 30 minutes before removing from the tin.
Slice and Enjoy!
