The centerpiece for my Easter dessert table this year is a Speckled Egg Cake. Around spring time you'll see cakes similar to this as it's perfect for the Easter holiday or spring season. Even better, it couldn't be simpler to make. All you need is a frosted layer cake along with some vodka and brown food coloring for the "speckles."
I made four cake layers (by doubling this recipe of Martha Stewart's one-bowl chocolate cake) and then filled and frosted them with blue-tinted Swiss meringue buttercream. To achieve the "speckled" effect I mixed a little bit of vodka with brown food coloring and used a pastry brush to splatter the mixture all over the cake.
If you don't want to use vodka I've also seen recipes that used 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract mixed with 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder. For the cute bird's nest topping I combined about 1 cup of toasted coconut flakes with 1/3 cup of melted chocolate chips. Form into a nest shape and place a few Cadbury's mini eggs in the center. Chill until firm and then place at the top of the cake.
HAPPY EASTER!
Oh my goodness! What a beautiful display AND cake! Wowza!
