EASTER CAKE
Speckled like a robin’s egg with nests of swirled chocolate buttercream, this lemon poppyseed cake is an Easter classic. This Easter cake is fairly simple and a perfect excuse to get messy in the kitchen. Little ones can help with the speckling and will love the opportunity to sneak a jelly bean or a lick of the frosting bowl.

Feel free to multiply the ingredients for larger recipe yields. And this is a recipe that would be good to keep in your arsenal for future gatherings after Easter.
