Step-by-Step Instructions for Easter Basket Cake
- Preheat your oven to the temperature indicated on the cake mix package, typically around 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix on medium speed for about 2 minutes until smooth.
- Grease your cake pans with non-stick spray or butter. Pour the batter evenly into the pans and bake according to package instructions, usually 25 to 30 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then invert them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, frost the first layer of the cake with chocolate fudge frosting, then stack the second layer and frost the top and sides.
- Sprinkle shredded coconut on top for the grass effect, and use green frosting to pipe around the edges.
- Decorate with candy easter eggs on top and around the sides for a festive look.

Notes
Using room temperature eggs helps the cake rise better. Keep leftovers in an airtight container for optimal freshness.
