Easter is perhaps my favorite food holiday. It’s the day that the food of my people comes out: Slovenian and Czech braided bread, fried krofi, and sausage with sauerkraut.
But also? This cake. This cake is nothing short of pure American ingenuity, in my mind—a sweet and sticky confection of angel food cake, marshmallow icing, and all the jellybeans you can handle. It’s a little bird’s nest for your Easter table, and its deep nostalgia for me is only matched by how easy it is to make and how fun it is to eat.
