Many dishes on the Easter table and those we put into the Easter basket are symbols. The egg is a symbol of new life; the bread symbolises Christ and also the bread which he used to feed people; the meat is a symbol of wealth; salt, pepper and horseradish symbolise the spice due to which our life is richer. Apparently, the Easter cake on the table symbolises the excellence we should aim for.

For a few years I have baked small Easter cakes, one of which I put into the Easter basket. I have used many recipes, but I wasn't satisfied with any of them. The cakes were great the first day, but then they lost their freshness. That was until I found a recipe at www.digotuje.pl which means I won't have to look for any others. I was surprised that one of the ingredients is mayonnaise. You can't taste the mayo at all, but the cake is fluffy and stays fresh longer.

Ingredients (for 6 small Easter cakes)
75g of flour
75g of potato flour
150g of sugar
3 eggs
3 flat tablespoons of mayonnaise
1.5 tablespoons of baking powder
1 teaspoon of lemon essence
lemon icing

Heat the oven up to 180C.
Put all the ingredients of the Easter cakes into a bowl and mix them together. Fill a small silicon cake tin with the dough. Bake for 25 minutes. Decorate the Easter cake with the lemon icing.

Enjoy your meal!
