Recipe Summary Easter Basket Cake

Very festive for the Easter holiday! Instead of using the candy to decorate the basket, I've also used milk chocolate icing or colored the vanilla icing to match the handle then used a fork to gently rake a basket type woven look into the sides of the cake.

Ingredients | Picnic Basket Set With Blanket

1 (18.25 ounce) package white cake mix

1 (16 ounce) can white frosting

2 drops green food coloring

½ teaspoon water

2 cups flaked coconut

1 (14 ounce) package candy-coated chocolate pieces

Directions

Prepare the cake mix and bake the cake in two 8 inch rounds according to package directions. Cool completely.

Cut a circle out of the center of one of the layers, leaving a ring that measures 1 1/2 inches from the outer to the inner edge. Place the uncut layer on a serving platter and frost the top. Place the ring layer on top of the frosted layer, and frost the sides and top of the basket. Decorate the sides and top by pressing candy pieces into the frosting.

To tint the coconut, combine water and green food coloring in a medium bowl. Stir in coconut with a fork until evenly tinted. Place green coconut grass in center of cake basket.

To make a handle, cut a piece of aluminum foil 8x16 inches. Fold in half lengthwise 4 times. Wrap with ribbon, securing the ends with tape. Insert ends of the handle into the cake top. Fill basket with Easter candy and goodies, if desired.
