Vanilla Bean Chocolate Speckled Cake
This Vanilla Bean Chocolate Speckled Cake, filled and covered with dreamy Creamsicle Icing, is simply perfect for Easter. The delicate flecks of finely grated dark chocolate folded into the batter create a beautifully speckled effect, reminiscent of a classic Easter egg.
But it’s not just about looks—the cake itself is incredibly soft, fluffy, and light, yet wonderfully moist and flavorful. It has just the right touch of sweetness with a hint of saltiness, which perfectly complements the speckled chocolate throughout. Every bite is a delicate balance of vanilla and chocolate, making it an absolute treat on its own.
Honestly, I love this cake straight out of the oven, without any frosting at all. But when I do dress it up, I go all in—layering it with smooth, luscious Creamsicle Icing and finishing it off with finely grated chocolate for a touch of elegance.
For an extra festive Easter look, I love decorating the top with pastel-colored candy eggs, creating a show-stopping centerpiece that’s both beautiful and delicious. The eggs are totally optional, but they add such a fun, springtime touch!
Whether you’re making this for an Easter gathering, a springtime celebration, or just because—this cake is a must-try. Simple, elegant, and absolutely irresistible!
