Ingredients

Servings

• 1.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 3 drop Food coloring
• 1 cup Buttercream frosting
• 12 Mini chocolate eggs

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a mini egg-shaped cake pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
4. Divide the batter into separate bowls and add food coloring to each bowl to create different colors.
5. Spoon the colored batter into the prepared cake pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.
6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean.
7. Allow the cakes to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Once the cakes are cooled, frost them with buttercream frosting and decorate with mini chocolate eggs.
9. Let the frosting set for 1 hour before serving.
