- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate eggs
- Green food coloring

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a round cake pan.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In a separate bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with buttermilk. Mix until just combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely.

Once the cake is cooled, spread the coconut mixture on top of the cake to resemble a nest. Press mini chocolate eggs into the coconut.

In another small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and milk to make a glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the cake.
