To make this Easter Flower Cake, you will need the following ingredients:

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
- 1/2 cup milk

For the frosting:

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
- Food coloring (optional)

For the decoration:

- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- Food coloring (optional)
- Jelly beans or other Easter candies
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 the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before frosting.
To make the frosting, cream together the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the frosting reaches your desired consistency. If desired, add food coloring to the frosting to create a pastel color.
To decorate the cake, spread a thin layer of frosting over the top and sides of the cake. In a small bowl, mix together the shredded coconut and food coloring until the coconut is evenly colored. Sprinkle the colored coconut over the top of the cake to create a grass-like texture. Arrange jelly beans or other Easter candies on top of the coconut to create a flower design.
This Easter Flower Cake is a perfect dessert for any Easter celebration. It is a delicious and beautiful centerpiece that will impress your guests. The cake is moist and fluffy, and the frosting is sweet and creamy. The coconut adds a nice texture and flavor to the cake, and the jelly beans add a fun and festive touch.
