85 Best Easter Cake Recipes to Cap Off the Holiday Meal

These recipes really take the cake.

Brian Woodcock

Easter is one of our favorite holidays. Not only does it herald (finally) the beginning of warm days, but it's just such a bright, vibrant, cheery time. We love decorating eggs (even if the Easter hunt is virtual), we love the gorgeous church services, and we most especially love coming up with delicious food for our Easter dinner or for our Easter brunch feast! But no matter what kind of a meal we have, and no matter whether it's a huge party or just a small celebration with close family, it just isn't an Easter feast without a delicious (and pretty) Easter dessert! That's why we recommend perusing this list and picking one of these amazing Easter cakes to make an appearance on your table. But don't worry—though they look amazing, most of them are actually quite simple to put together, so you can spend less time with decorating tools, and more time enjoying your family and the nice weather.

Many of these baked beauties feature carrots or chocolate eggs for a festive nod to the holiday, such as the carrot patch cupcakes, Cadbury Creme Egg cake, or the robin's egg cake. There are also many recipes that feature flavors of the season, such as the daisy lemon layer cake or the strawberry rhubarb layer cake. Any of these sweets will pair perfectly with other Easter treats you've made for your guests. So go ahead and brew up a fresh pot of coffee (or bring out another round of Easter cocktails, who's to judge?), serve up your beautiful Easter cake, and enjoy with your holiday visitors.
