Cook time: 30 minutes
Serves: 12

Ingredients

2 sticks unsalted butter (softened)

2 cups granulated sugar

4 large eggs

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup whole milk

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 1/2 cups shredded coconut

Vegetable green food coloring

1 cup confectioners' sugar

2 tablespoons water

Gummy candies and chocolate eggs for decoration

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.

2. In a large bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

3. Mix in the vanilla extract.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

6. Divide the batter in half; to one half, add cocoa powder and mix well.

7. Pour the vanilla and chocolate batters into the prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Mix shredded coconut with green food coloring to create a grassy texture.

10. In another bowl, combine confectioners' sugar and water to create a glaze, adjusting consistency as needed.

11. Assemble the cake by layering with chocolate and vanilla layers, glazing between each layer.

12. Cover the cake with the green coconut grass, and decorate with gummy candies and chocolate eggs to create a woodland effect.

Storage

Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
