The best coffee morning recipes

It’s a well known fact that fundraising and sweet things go hand in hand. So if you’re thinking of raising some money for a good cause, why not do it while enjoying a slice of your favourite lemon drizzle?  Here’s all the inspiration you need for a money-spinning, mouth-watering coffee morning…

For easy, time-saving bakes, try our all-in-one cake recipes, then find out our most popular cake recipes. Next discover our favourite afternoon tea recipes, rainy day baking recipes, botanical baking recipes and even more baking recipes.

Traybakes

A traybake is the easiest way to feed lots of hungry cake enthusiasts. They’re fuss-free and versatile, you can use whatever flavours you like, slicing into delicious squares for easy portioning. We love our traditional lemon drizzle slice with fancy feathered icing, but we also can’t get enough of the indulgent grown-up flavour of our coconut chai traybake.

Try a few of our favourite traybakes…
Tropical rocky road
Blueberry lemon cake with coconut crumble topping
Bourbon, black cherry & bacon brownies
Cardamom & coffee streusel cake
Apple pie bars

Showstoppers

If you’re looking to blow your friends away, go for a showstopping celebration cake that no one could possibly resist. John Whaite’s chocolate chiffon cake with salted caramel butter cream might take a little more effort, but you’ll be the ‘hostess with the mostest’ without a doubt. If you want to keep your surprises on the inside, why not try our peek-a-boo Battenberg cake for a stunning reveal come cake cutting.
