THE FUSE

When it comes to baking, this chocolate Easter sheet cake is the kind of low-effort, high-reward situation we all pretend we have under control. Baked in a single tray and finished with a rich, chocolatey icing, it’s the ultimate crowd-pleaser for family gatherings, school holidays or that one friend who “doesn’t like sweet things” but somehow eats three slices. Even better, decorating it is half the fun — pile on mini eggs, chocolate bunnies and anything pastel you can find, and suddenly you’ve got a festive centrepiece that looks far more impressive than the effort required.
