Ingredients

  • 1 box pound cake mix
  • Cooking spray
  • Variety of Easter candies
  • 1 container vanilla frosting
  • Sugar pearls (for decoration)

Directions

    1. Step 1Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare pound cake batter according to package instructions.
    2. Step 2Coat a 2-cup oven-safe measuring cup with cooking spray and pour in cake batter. Bake until golden and a toothpick comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool slightly.
    3. Step 3Repeat step 2 for second cake.
    4. Step 4Cut tops of each cake, then carve out the middle, leaving a 1/2-inch border so the cake still stands when hollowed out. (Be careful not to carve too deep.)
    5. Step 5Fill bottom cake with Easter candies (such as foil-wrapped chocolates). Frost ring around the top of the bottom cake.
    6. Step 6Place top cake on top of bottom cake and frost completely. Decorate egg with sugar pearls.
