Servings: persons

200 g plain flour
100 g ground almonds
2 heaped tsp baking powder
2 None eggs
125 g full-fat natural yogurt
125 g butter
100 g caster sugar
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tbsp semi-skimmed milk
250 g icing sugar, plus extra for dusting
1 None egg white
1/2 None lemon, juiced
None None Green, yellow and red food colouring
None None Sugar hearts and sprinkles, to decorate

1
Preheat the oven to 325u00b0F.
2
Grease a 6-hole mini loaf pan and sprinkle with flour. In a bowl, mix the flour, almonds, baking powder and a pinch of salt. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and yogurt. In a third bowl, beat the butter and sugar for 2 mins, until creamy. Beat the egg mixture and the butter mixture alternately into the flour mixture.
3
Spoon half the batter into 3 holes of the pan. Stir the cocoa powder and milk into the remaining batter and spoon into the remaining 3 holes. Bake for 35 mins, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a loaf comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 15 mins, then turn out on to a wire rack and allow to cool completely.
4
Mix the powdered sugar, egg white and lemon juice until smooth. Divide equally into 4 bowls and color 1 bowl green, 1 yellow and 1 pink. Leave the final bowl white. Spoon into 4 piping bags fitted with small, plain nozzles and decorate the cakes to look like wrapped gifts. Sprinkle with candy hearts and sprinkles and allow to dry. Dust with icing sugar.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
