The signature
Chocolate cake
This raspberry-topped, fudgy chocolate cake is arguably The Great British Bake Off’s most iconic bake – first made eleven years ago, and the enduring star of the programme’s title sequence. Aspirational but achievable and (of course) decadently delicious, it is, quite literally, Bake Off in a Box.
A real show-stopper

The February Box Winners
Banana & Walnut
Mini Loaves
Individual banana loaves are perfect for a morning or teatime gathering, or even a child’s birthday party. Topped with buttercream and decorated with slices of dried banana, this recipe elevates a sweet snack to a delightful treat. You could, though, leave out the buttercream and decoration, if you wish, in which case the loaves are perfect for a lunch box or picnic.
Go nuts for bananas

Lemony
Lemon Slices
A traybake is the simplest way to feed a crowd, so whether you’re baking for a charity cake sale or an office birthday, these very lemony lemon slices are a quick and-easy win. Make sure your sponge is still warm when you add the drizzle – a warm sponge is better at absorbing the syrup than a cool one, helping to make sure that your sponge is moist all the way through.
Simply the zest!

Chocolate & Hazelnut
Babka
Who watched Paul’s technical Babka challenge on GBBO series 11? Now it’s time to dough it yourself. A babka is a traditional Jewish filled, cake-y bread (like a brioche), originating from Eastern Europe. This babka is filled with fudgy chocolate and crunchy hazelnut, which make for a rich and perfectly textured treat that’s just the thing with a cup of coffee

Bakewell Tart
In this classic Bakewell recipe, fluffy frangipane covers a layer of homemade raspberry jam and is encased in crisp, sweet pastry. We love the feathered icing technique used for decoration. Simple to master, it's an iconic topping for a Bakewell.

Strawberry & Vanilla Sandwich Biscuits
Crisp shortbread with a filling of vanilla buttercream and strawberry jam, these biscuits are equally as elegant with afternoon tea as they are fun at a children’s birthday party. The addition of piped, fine stripes of white chocolate adds a touch of pretty decoration.

Passion fruit éclairs
with Meringue Kisses
Choux buns filled with a passion fruit-flavoured crème pâtissière and topped with caramel and delicate meringue kisses – these éclairs could be straight out of a Parisian pâtissérie. They are a wonderful introduction to choux pastry, which is much easier than it seems. The lightness is the result of steam that generates inside the buns as they bake.
