Easter Cake
I confess: I struggle for dessert ideas every year when Easter rolls around.
On the plus side?
This is more a guide than a strict recipe.
you’ve got the option to use any cake you want.
Any decorating eggs you want.
Any colour of frosting you want.
The Cake
Ive used myVanilla Cakefor this Easter Cake.
I chose it for its ultra-moist and tender crumb, and beautiful vanilla flavour.
Gel works better to achieve the pictured pale blue colour because its stronger than food colouring.
Especially so when using gel, and even using thetoothpick smearing method.
This is a much safer method that lets you control the intensity of colour far better!

How to do Chocolate Speckles on Frosting
Youll love this!
Its simplycocoa powder + boiling waterwhich is gently flicked onto the frostingusing a toothbrush!!
Its also the easiest to control to get the most even effect across the surface of the cake.
So just keep an eye on it.
The Easter Eggs
And lastly, the Easter Eggs!
Pile them into that nest you just created, and nestle them along the base as well.
But really, any mini eggs will do.
Cheerful foil-wrapped ones would look terrific as well, I think!
Well, not this one.
TheVanilla Cake recipeis one of my signature recipes.
Besides, its just so darned delicious.
I daresay anyone who thinks Vanilla Cake is bland hasnt tried this one!!
The copious amounts of fluffy buttercream frosting helps tantalise the tastebuds, as does piles of Easter Eggs.
