How to Get Flat Cake layers

all-purpose flour

sugar 228 grams

tsp baking soda 2 grams

tsp baking powder

unsalted butter (room temperature)

tsp vanilla extract

sour cream 133

milk

lbs confectioners sugar 907 grams

butter (unsalted, room temperature)

vanilla

tbsp milk

tsp kosher salt

Blue food coloring (optional)

coconut 40 grams (toasted, sweetened)

cocoa powder nice quality

chocolate eggs mini

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Spread coconut flakes out on a baking sheet. Cook for about 5-10 minutes. They will toast quickly. Let cool.

Increase temp to 340 degrees F. Butter and flour three 6-inch pans. I use cake strips on my pans for more even baking as well.

Sift the dry ingredients (including sugar) together in a large bowl.

Beat the wet ingredients together in a medium bowl.

Add the wet to the dry and mix until just combined.

Divide the mixture evenly into the cake pans. Place wet cake strips around&nbsp; pans.

Bake at for about 25-30 minutes or until the centers are springy to the touch.

For the Cake:

Beat the butter until light and fluffy. Add the confectioners' sugar, 1 tsp vanilla, 1/4 tsp salt, and milk. Mix.

Transfer to a piping bag. Snip off the tip.

For the Vanilla Buttercream:

Pipe buttercream between each cake layer.

Pipe an outer layer and smooth out with a scraper.

Mix cocoa powder and vanilla or alcohol. Using a paint brush, splatter the cake and chocolate eggs to create a speckled look.

Chill for about 10-15 minutes.

Pipe a ring of buttercream on the cake. Press toasted coconut flakes onto ring. Create a nest shape.

Add eggs to the inside of the nest.
