Easter is one of the biggest home entertaining holidays of the year - especially meal time.  My favorite part of the holiday meal is dessert - except we’re not waiting to serve it once Easter dinner is over! We’re starting dessert early. 

Today we’re going to show you a creative dessert idea for brunch that’s a hot food trend right now, and will wow your guests… Check out this Easy Easter Surprise Cake. Festive with Easter decorations, as you slice a piece, you’ll enjoy an avalanche of Easter candy treats that will be especially exciting for the kids! It looks impressive, right? Maybe a little intimidating, but it’s easier to make than you think. 

Here’s how it comes together. Essentially, it's all the usual cake-baking steps - only you add the candies after the cake has cooled, and then finish it with icing and gold leaf decor on top. 

But a really important first step in making the cake batter is to pick the right oil. Oil is critical to getting that moist, fluffy texture. My favorite for baking is Wesson canola oil – its light and delicate taste makes it a great foundation for any recipe.

Wesson has been used by professional and home chefs and bakers for 125 years, and for good reason. Its pure product means you taste the cake, not the oil – and you get that amazing texture that really makes this dessert.

Wesson’s 100% pure Canola oil is also a good-for-you choice that’s preservative-free, cholesterol-free, and contains zero grams of trans fats per serving. It’s a must-have in the pantry if you love to bake.
