Gather Your Ingredients
For the Cake:
To make the base of your Easter egg nest cakes, you will need flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. You can also add in some food coloring to make your cakes more festive.
For the Frosting:
For the frosting, you will need butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, milk, and food coloring. You can use any color of food coloring to match your desired theme.
For the Toppings:
To make the "nest" part of your cakes, you will need shredded coconut, green food coloring, and chocolate eggs or jelly beans.
Bake and Assemble Your Cakes
Once you have gathered all of your ingredients, it's time to start baking! Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a cupcake pan. In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients for the cake - flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together the wet ingredients - melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until well combined.
Next, add a few drops of food coloring to the batter and mix until you achieve your desired color. Pour the batter into the cupcake pan, filling each cup about 2/3 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting.
To make the frosting, cream together the butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Then, add in the vanilla extract and milk and mix until creamy. Add in a few drops of food coloring to achieve your desired color. Frost the cupcakes using a piping bag or knife, creating a small indentation in the center to make room for the "nest".
Create the Nest Topping
In a small bowl, mix together the shredded coconut and a few drops of green food coloring until the coconut is tinted green. Place a small amount of the coconut mixture on top of the frosting to create the "nest". Finally, top off your Easter egg nest cakes with a few chocolate eggs or jelly beans to complete the look.
Enjoy Your Delicious Easter Treat
Now that your Easter egg nest cakes are assembled, it's time to enjoy them! These cute and tasty treats are perfect for Easter gatherings or just as a fun activity to make with your family.
