Paul Hollywood's coconut and passion fruit traybake recipe
'Traybakes remind me of village fetes and bake sales as a kid,' says The Great British Bake Off judge Paul Hollywood. 'I remember making them when I was a cub scout. They're a great way to get into baking, and you can play around with different flavours and toppings. 'One thing to remember is to leave them to cool before you slice up – don't rush it.'

Heat your oven to 180°C/160°C Fan/Gas 4. Grease a 30 x 23cm baking tin, 5cm deep, and line with baking paper. 2. In a large bowl, beat the butter, sugar and lime zest together, using a hand-held electric whisk, until light and fluffy. Gradually add the beaten eggs, beating well after each addition and adding a spoonful of flour halfway through. Add the vanilla extract and stir in. Advertisement 3. Using a spatula or large metal spoon, carefully fold in the rest of the flour and the desiccated coconut. Finally, incorporate the milk until smoothly combined. 4. Transfer the mixture to the prepared tin and gently smooth the surface to level. Bake in the oven for 25–30 minutes until risen and springy to the touch. 5. Leave the sponge to cool in the tin for 10 minutes then carefully turn out onto a wire rack and leave to cool completely. 6. For the topping, in a bowl, mix the mascarpone with the icing sugar and lime juice. Cut each passion fruit in half and scoop out the seeds and juice into a small bowl. Add half of the passion fruit pulp to the mascarpone and stir to mix; save the rest for decoration. Advertisement 7. Spread the mascarpone over the top of the cooled sponge, using a palette knife. Trickle over the remaining passion fruit pulp and sprinkle with the toasted coconut flakes and grated lime zest to finish. Cut into squares to serve.

Our best tray bakes for busy nights
There are so many things to love about dinners that bake on a tray or two. There's hardly any prep, very little washing up, and best of all: time to do anything else while dinner's in the oven. Here are some of our most popular tray bakes, including vegetarian options. This hearty dinner can be assembled in 10 minutes. It's a complete meal with tinned chickpeas and cherry tomatoes baking beneath the chicken Marylands, with chorizo adding a hint of smokiness. Pork sausages bake on top of thinly sliced potato and tinned tomatoes in this tray bake that's finished with fresh herbs. The potatoes are parboiled for 15 minutes before everything's combined on a tray and baked. Chicken thighs, tinned lentils and spices combine in this recipe that requites only 10 minutes of prep time. The lentils bake in cream, adding some decadence to this weeknight meal that's served with lemon wedges, herbs and bread. A few packets of gnocchi go straight onto a baking tray with broccoli, fennel seeds and lemon slices in this easy weeknight dinner. Add a generous amount of cheese and a squeeze of lemon juice and dinner is ready. This tray bake takes inspiration from a stir-fry, but everything is baked, except for the rice. You'll need two trays for the recipe, one to bake the tofu and eggplant and a second to gently steam some veggies before everything's combined in a hot honey sauce with soy. Turn potatoes into a meal in this one-tray recipe, in which thick slices of haloumi are added part-way through the bake. Stir through some leafy greens and chopped mint and enjoy this warm, cheesy salad.
