- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare three 6-inch round cake pans with butter and flour.
- Spread shredded coconut on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 5-10 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift and whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: egg whites, vanilla, sour cream, and milk.
- Fold the wet mixture into the dry mixture gently to combine.
- Divide the batter among the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool the layers in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Beat the room-temperature butter until creamy and smooth, then gradually add sifted powdered sugar and milk to create frosting.
- Assemble the cake by frosting between layers and covering the top and sides.
- Dust the top with cocoa powder, sprinkle with toasted coconut, and nestle chocolate eggs in the center.
- Refrigerate the finished cake for 10-15 minutes to set the frosting.
