If you had asked me 20 years ago if I would ever enjoy watching birds I might have laughed in your face. But now it is something our whole family likes to do! One bird we especially love is the Robin. Not only does their early appearance at the end of winter make this midwestern girls heart happy but I happen to love their cheery song! And of course their beautiful eggs. Recreating a Robins Egg inspired Easter Cake was a perfect blend of my passions baking and nature!

Cake Ingredients
Box of white cake mix baked in two 8inch round cake pans per package instructions. You could also use my white cake recipe to make the cake from scratch.
How to Make the Cakes
The first thing you will want to make is the lemon cheesecake. That will have to cool for at least three hours before assembling the cake. To make the cheesecake combine the cream cheese sugar lemon juice and lemon extract in the bowl of a stand mixer. Add in the eggs one at a time and mix just until blended. 
Pour the cheesecake mixture into a springform pan that has been lined with parchment paper and sprayed with a nonstick spray. Bake for 40 minutes at 350F or until the center is almost set just a bit wiggly. Let the cake cool for at least three hours. 
While the lemon cheesecake is cooling bake the white cake in two round 8inch cake pans per package directions. Let the cakes cool before assembling.
How to Make the Buttercream
I used my vanilla buttercream recipe to make the robins egg blue frosting. Having your butter and milk at room temperature helps greatly. Substituting whipping cream for milk is a great idea but not necessary if you get the butter whipped up nicely. I do not recommend skim milk in this recipe.
I have seen this recipe as a quick onebowl recipe. To do this simply
