Quick like a bunny, you can make this 1953 beautiful Easter Egg Cake. I found this recipe in an old magazine ad years ago. Now after going through my box of cake recipes, & with Easter 2012 just around the corner I decided to share it with all my J.A.P. buddies. I am sure your family and friends will love it. **This is a General Foods photo and recipe. My Easter recipe # 2

Place these 4 pieces together with frosting between them. With the smaller pieces on the outside. 2. Stand them upright,on a cake plate with the cut sides down. 3. Trim the outside pieces at the top outer edges to help round off edges...for an egg shape. 4. Then trim off outside pieces,slicing diagonally to give cake an oval shape at the bottom.
