Let Them Eat Cake..... Easter Basket Cake Dessert Idea

Hope you all are having a very

Blessed Easter

with family and friends.

Our children are all grown and in their 20's now

so we don't do the

traditional easter baskets anymore.

So when my mother in law asked

 if I could bring a cake for Easter dinner

 I decided I would make an

 Easter Basket for all to share.

Instead of using a box cake mix, 

I whipped up a white cake from scratch that we all enjoy .

I made a larger recipe so I could bake it in three layers.

Then I fancied it up a bit

by adding a filling between the layers,

raspberry and lemon. 

It's easy to do,

just like as for a jelly roll, 

choose a good brand of jelly or seedless jam. 

 I used approx 3/4 cup and

gave it a quick stir to make it easier to spread.

Spoon onto the cake,

spreading almost to the edge,

Then, position a second layer of cake on top.

I decorated in a basket weave pattern.

Cut a handle out of white cake board

 and plunged it into the cake.

I colored coconut with

a few drops of green food coloring

 and spread over the top.

I added plastic eggs

already filled with chocolates!... Easy Peasy!

And of course a chocolate bunny.

Easter Blessings and Warm Hugs

to every one of you,
