Instructions:

H3: Preheat the oven and prepare the pans

H3: Make the cake batter

  1. In a large bowl, beat together the cake mix, water, oil, and eggs with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes, or until smooth.
  1. Divide the batter evenly among six bowls. Add a few drops of gel food coloring to each bowl, and mix until each batter is a vibrant color: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.

H3: Bake the cake layers

  1. Pour each colored batter into a separate prepared cake pan. Bake for 17-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  1. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.

H3: Make the frosting

  2. Gradually add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the frosting reaches desired consistency.

H3: Assemble the cake

  1. Once the cake layers are cool, place one layer on a cake plate or stand. Spread a thin layer of frosting over the top. Repeat with the remaining layers, alternating the colors.
  2. Frost the entire cake with the remaining frosting. Decorate with sprinkles, if desired.

H3: Tips for success:

  • For even brighter colors, use gel food coloring instead of liquid food coloring.
  • If your cake layers dome slightly, you can carefully level them using a serrated knife before frosting.
  • To prevent the frosting from becoming too soft, make sure your butter is softened, but not melted.
  • This cake can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

  • Kid-Friendly: Get the little ones involved in the fun! Piping the meringue is a great way to keep them entertained, and they’ll love helping to decorate the finished product.

Ingredients:

  • 3 large egg whites, at room temperature
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • Food coloring (optional)

Equipment:

  • Mixing bowl
  • Electric mixer with whisk attachment
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Piping bag (optional)
  • Piping tip (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Baking Sheet

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Whip the Egg Whites

  1. In a clean, grease-free bowl, add the egg whites and cream of tartar. Using an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form.

Tips:

  • Make sure your bowl and whisk are completely clean and free of any grease or oil, as this can prevent the egg whites from whipping properly.
  • For best results, use egg whites that are at room temperature.

Gradually Add the Sugar

  1. With the mixer on medium speed, gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, until all the sugar has been incorporated.

Tips:

  • Adding the sugar slowly is important to ensure that it dissolves completely and the meringue reaches the stiff peak stage.
  • If the sugar is not fully dissolved, your meringue kisses will be grainy.

Beat Until Stiff Peaks Form

  1. Increase the mixer speed to high and continue beating until the meringue reaches stiff peaks. This means that when you lift the whisk, the peaks will hold their shape and not droop.

Tips:

  • It may take several minutes to reach stiff peaks, so be patient.
  • You can test the meringue by rubbing a small amount between your thumb and forefinger. If it feels gritty, the sugar is not fully dissolved and you need to continue beating.

 Add Food Coloring (Optional)

  1. If you want to make your meringue kisses pastel-colored, divide the meringue into separate bowls and add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold the food coloring into the meringue until evenly distributed.

Tips:

  • Start with a small amount of food coloring and add more until you reach the desired shade.
  • Gel food coloring will give you the most vibrant colors.

 Pipe or Spoon the Meringue

  1. If you are using a piping bag, spoon the meringue into the bag fitted with a desired piping tip. Alternatively, you can simply spoon the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet. Create small dollops, leaving space between them for spreading.

Tips:

  • If you don’t have a piping bag, you can use a spoon to create small dollops of meringue.
  • Make sure to leave space between the meringue kisses, as they will spread slightly while baking.

Adorable and Easy: Coconut Macaroon Nests with Jelly Beans 

The Perfect Easter Treat Everyone Will Love!

Spring is here, and Easter is just around the corner! This year, ditch the complicated desserts and whip up a batch of these adorable and easy Coconut Macaroon Nests. They’re packed with flavor, fun to make, and perfect for sharing with friends and family.

Ingredients:

  • 4 large egg whites
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 (14-ounce) package sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, melted
  • 1 cup assorted jelly beans

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Whisk the egg whites and salt together in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to whisk until stiff peaks form.

Gently fold the coconut into the egg white mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the macaroons tough.

Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop heaping tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave about 2 inches of space between each macaroon to allow for spreading.

Use your thumb or the back of a spoon to gently press a shallow indentation in the center of each macaroon to create a “nest” shape.

Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the macaroons are golden brown. Let cool completely on the baking sheet.

Once the macaroons are cool, drizzle them with melted white chocolate.

While the chocolate is still wet, gently press a few jelly beans into the center of each nest.

Tips:

  • For a fun twist, you can tint the coconut with a few drops of food coloring before adding it to the egg white mixture.
  • If you don’t have white chocolate chips, you can use melted dark chocolate or even melted butter.
  • Get creative with your jelly beans! Use a variety of colors and shapes to add some personality to your nests.

These Coconut Macaroon Nests are sure to be a hit at your Easter celebration! They’re easy to make, fun to decorate, and absolutely delicious.

Enjoy!

Additional Tips:

  • To make sure your macaroons are perfectly golden brown, keep an eye on them during baking. If they start to brown too quickly, reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C).
  • Let the macaroons cool completely on the baking sheet before decorating them. This will help the chocolate to harden properly.
  • If you don’t have a cookie scoop, you can use a spoon to measure out the macaroon dough. Just be sure to make sure all of the macaroons are roughly the same size.
  • Store the finished macaroons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

I hope you enjoy this recipe! Be sure to share your creations on social media using the hashtag #EasterMacaroons.
