Elegant Easter Cake
Spring is almost here, two more days! Thoughts are definitely turning to Easter. I have fond memories of hiding eggs for my kids and having them find them. Other memories of that include finding an egg in mid June that was overlooked. I am one fond believer in the Easter Bunny, not that he is real, but the purpose behind him (or her). Think of it, luscious chocolate delivered to your basket on a beautiful spring morning. Perfect! Of course this is not to be. Easter also is a time for many scrumptious dinners and desserts. One of my favorite Easter desserts is actually very simple to make. It is light, fluffy, and incredible delicious. Here is my first Easter dessett, perfect for a large gathering!
