Instructions
1
|
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and line three 6 inch cake pans with parchment paper.
2
|
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the flour, Truvia Sweet Complete Granulated Sweetener, baking powder, and salt.
3
|
Cut up the butter into small cubes and add to the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until it resembles wet sand.
4
|
Add the oil, coconut milk, vanilla, and coconut extract, and mix until just combined.
5
|
Fold in the shredded coconut until evenly distributed.
6
|
In a separate medium bowl, add the egg whites. Use an electric hand mixer to whip them until medium peaks form.
7
|
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter with a rubber spatula until just combined.
8
|
Divide the cake batter between the prepared pans.
9
|
Bake for about 22-25 minutes or until the cakes start to pull away from the sides of the pans. Immediately turn the cakes out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
10
|
Once cool, wrap the cakes in plastic wrap and freeze until ready to decorate. (Frozen cake layers will be much easier to frost!)
11
|
In a small saucepan, bring the heavy cream to a simmer or about 190 degrees F. Once simmering, remove from heat and add the chocolate. Use a small rubber spatula or spoon to gently stir until the chocolate has melted and the ganache is homogeneous.
12
|
Pour the ganache into a medium bowl and place in the fridge for about 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. The ganache needs to be about room temperature, not too hot, but not too cold.
13
|
Use an electric hand mixer to whip the ganache to stiff peaks. Set aside.
14
|
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter, and cream cheese on high speed until smooth.
15
|
Slowly add the Truvia Sweet Complete Confectioner's Sweetener and mix on low speed until fully combined.
16
|
Once all of the confectioner's sweetener is added, add a few drops of light blue food coloring gel and continue beating on low speed until no more lumps or pockets of air remain and the frosting is smooth.
17
|
Place the first cake layer on a cake stand. Pipe a dam of frosting around the edge of the cake. Fill the center with a few scoops of whipped chocolate ganache.
18
|
Top with the second cake layer and repeat.
19
|
Add the last cake layer and top with a few scoops of frosting. Use an offset spatula to smooth out the top, and spread the excess all over the sides. Continue frosting the cake until it's completely covered.
20
|
To add robin's egg spots, dip a pastry brush in brown food coloring gel and carefully flick it all over the cake.
21
|
Top the cake with toasted coconut flakes and mini chocolate candy eggs, and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Stabilize Your Egg Whites 🥚Add a pinch of cream of tartar or lemon juice to egg whites before whipping to achieve stiff peaks that won't deflate, ensuring your cake layers stay light and airy.
- Bloom Your Chocolate Ganache 🍫Chop milk chocolate into small, uniform pieces and pour heated heavy cream over it, then let it sit for 1-2 minutes before stirring—this creates a silky, lump-free ganache with perfect texture.
- Chill Layers Between Assembly ❄️Refrigerate each frosted cake layer for 15-20 minutes before stacking to prevent sliding and ensure clean, professional-looking layers with stable frosting.
- Toast Your Coconut Nest 🥥Lightly toast shredded coconut in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before creating the nest to enhance its nutty flavor and improve structural integrity for holding candy eggs.
- Gel Food Coloring Technique 🎨Apply speckled coloring dots with a toothpick dipped in gel food coloring rather than drops to control placement and create authentic robin's egg spotting without over-saturating the frosting.
