Cake:
With mixer, combine all the ingredients until mixed well.
Divide evenly into 3 –9″ cake pans.
I spray mine with Pam and line them with parchment paper.
Bake on 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until the cake tests done.
Cool completely on wire rack.
Filling:
Set aside 2 Peeps of each color.
In a plastic container, microwave Peeps
for 20-25 seconds, until they’re puffy.
Place them in mixing bowl and add 1 cup of the butter cream.
To make the color more vibrant, you can add
icing color to match the Peeps.
Blend on high until icing is all mixed well.
Spread each color between each layer and then 1 color on top.
Refrigerate the cake about 15 minutes
at this point to stabilize the filling.
Buttercream Icing:
Cream the butter until light and fluffy.
Add the confectioners sugar and blend until combined.
Add the vanilla and the whipping cream
until the icing is good spreading consistency.
Carefully spread the icing over the top color
of Peeps then on the sides.
We love coconut, so we added the 2 cups of
on the top and sides of the cake.
If you are not a fan of coconut, you can skip this step
and your cake will still be most magnificent.
Carefully place 1 cup chocolate icing in the middle
of the top layer and spread slightly.
Place the Peeps you set aside in the chocolate icing.
