Want to impress your guests this Easter without spending hours in the kitchen? With my recipe for this 10-minute Easter mazarin cake, you can easily put together an irresistible dessert that will have everyone asking for a second slice.
It is a clever way to dress up a shop-bought mazarin cake (a round Danish almond cake) by adding a fresh, tangy mascarpone cream, whipped with cream and lemon and folded through with crushed mini chocolate Easter eggs.
The sharpness of the cream balances the sweetness of the Easter eggs perfectly, and the result is a heavenly dessert that is as easy to make as it is lovely to look at.
Quick and easy Easter mazarin cake in 10 minutes
This cake is a treat for the taste buds and a feast for the eyes, thanks to the colourful Easter eggs on top. It makes the perfect finish to an Easter lunch, or a great way to use up the last of the Easter eggs once the holiday is over. And the best part? It can be prepared ahead and assembled in just 10 minutes.
10-minute Easter mazarin cake
Ingredients
- 2 shop-bought mazarin cakes – the classic round ones Danish almond cakes
- 150 g mascarpone
- 150 ml whipping cream (38% fat)
- 30 g icing sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla sugar

Toppings
- 1 handful mixed mini chocolate Easter eggs, crushed
Method
- Put the mascarpone, cream, icing sugar, vanilla sugar, lemon zest and lemon juice in a bowl and whisk together until the cream begins to thicken.It thickens quickly, so take care not to over-whip it.
- Tip the crushed Easter eggs into the cream and fold them in thoroughly.
- Divide the mascarpone cream between the 2 mazarin cakes and spread it out with the back of a tablespoon.
- Top the cakes with crushed Easter eggs and serve.If the cakes are kept in the fridge, the sugar coating on the Easter eggs may melt and bleed colour into the cream.

Hej Dianna. Hvor lang tid før servering, gør du kagerne færdige – og hvordan opbevarer du dem frem til servering? 🐣
