To make the cake, start by preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease two 9-inch round pans. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt. In a separate bowl, cream together 3/4 cup unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 4 large eggs, one at a time. Next, add 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract and slowly mix in the dry ingredients. Finally, add 1 cup of whole milk and stir until just combined. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

While the cakes are cooling, prepare the chocolate buttercream frosting. In a large bowl, beat together 1 cup softened butter, 4 cups confectioners’ sugar, and 6 tablespoons cocoa powder until combined. Add in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract and 3 tablespoons of heavy cream and continue to beat until light and fluffy. Once the cakes have cooled completely, spread the frosting over one of the layers and then place the other layer on top. Finish off by covering the entire cake with more frosting. Enjoy!

3) Lemon Bars

These sweet and tart lemon bars are a delicious way to celebrate Easter. They start with a buttery shortbread crust that is pressed into the pan, then topped with a creamy lemon filling. The bright citrus flavor of the lemon filling balances perfectly with the buttery shortbread crust.

To make the shortbread crust, you will need butter, sugar, and all-purpose flour.

Start by creaming together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then add the flour until it forms a crumbly dough. Press the dough into an 8x8 inch baking pan, making sure to press it into the edges and bottom evenly. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden brown.

For the lemon filling, mix together granulated sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice until combined. Whisk together eggs, cornstarch, and salt until smooth. Add this mixture to the sugar mixture and whisk until combined. Pour this mixture over the prepared shortbread crust and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is lightly golden. Let cool completely before cutting into bars.

These lemon bars are perfect for any Easter celebration. They are easy to make and everyone will love their sweet and tart flavor!

4) Carrot Cake

Carrot cake is the perfect way to celebrate Easter! It is a delicious dessert that combines sweet, juicy carrots with nutty spices and creamy frosting. Carrot cake is usually baked in a large bundt pan and can be served with ice cream or whipped cream.

To make carrot cake, start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together two cups of all-purpose flour, two teaspoons of baking powder, one teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and one teaspoon of ground nutmeg. In a separate bowl, whisk together one cup of vegetable oil, one cup of white sugar, one teaspoon of vanilla extract, and three eggs. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until everything is just combined.

Grate four cups of carrots and fold them into the batter. Then pour the batter into a greased bundt pan and bake it for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it.

To make a simple cream cheese frosting, mix together one block of softened cream cheese, one stick of melted butter, two cups of powdered sugar, and one teaspoon of vanilla extract until it is nice and smooth. Spread the frosting over the cooled carrot cake and top it with chopped walnuts for an extra crunchy texture.
