To make this Easter Nest 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 cup milk

For the frosting:

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Food coloring (optional)

For the nest:

- Shredded coconut
- Miniature chocolate eggs
To begin, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
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. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, until the batter is smooth.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely before frosting.
To make the frosting, cream together the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the milk and vanilla extract until the frosting is smooth and creamy. If desired, add food coloring to tint the frosting to your desired shade.
To assemble the cake, place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of frosting over the top. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining frosting. Sprinkle shredded coconut over the top of the cake to create a nest, then arrange miniature chocolate eggs on top to complete the look.
This Easter Nest Cake is a perfect dessert for any Easter celebration. The moist, fluffy cake and sweet, creamy frosting are perfectly complemented by the crunchy coconut and chocolate eggs. Your guests will love this festive and delicious dessert!
