For the cake:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, until the batter is smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before removing it from the pan.
To make the frosting, cream together the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the vanilla extract and enough milk to achieve a smooth, spreadable consistency.
To decorate the cake, tint the shredded coconut with green food coloring to resemble grass. Spread a thin layer of frosting over the top and sides of the cake, then press the tinted coconut onto the frosting to cover the cake. Arrange the mini chocolate eggs on top of the coconut, and add some Easter grass for a finishing touch.
