Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Milk
• 2 cup Powdered sugar
• 4 drop Food coloring (optional)
• 1 cup Shredded coconut
• 1 cup Mini marshmallows
• 10 pair Candy eyes
• 10 count Pink jelly beans
• 20 count Chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bunny-shaped cake pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar with enough water to make a thick glaze. Divide the glaze into separate bowls and add food coloring to each bowl to create different colors.
8. Once the cake is cooled, spread the glaze over the cake to create a colorful bunny design.
9. Decorate the bunny cake with shredded coconut for fur, mini marshmallows for the tail, candy eyes, pink jelly beans for the nose, and chocolate chips for the mouth.
10. Serve and enjoy!
