To make this Easter Speckled Egg 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 whole milk

For the frosting:

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-3 tablespoons heavy cream

For the speckled eggs:

- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- Food coloring (in various colors)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and grease two 8-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. 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.
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans and 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 removing them from the pans.
While the cakes are cooling, prepare the frosting by creaming together the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the vanilla extract and heavy cream, and mix until the frosting is smooth and creamy.
To make the speckled eggs, melt the white chocolate chips and vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted. Divide the melted chocolate into several small bowls and add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl, stirring until the colors are well combined. Using a toothbrush, flick the colored chocolate onto a sheet of parchment paper to create speckled egg shapes. Allow the chocolate to harden before removing them from the parchment paper.
To assemble the cake, place one cake layer on a cake stand or plate and spread a layer of frosting on top. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining frosting. Decorate the top of the cake with the speckled eggs.
This Easter Speckled Egg Cake is a showstopper dessert that is sure to impress your guests. The moist vanilla cake pairs perfectly with the creamy frosting, and the colorful speckled eggs add a fun and festive touch. This dish can be classified as a dessert and its main ingredients are flour, sugar, and butter.
