Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Milk
• 2 cup Buttercream frosting
• 1 cup Shredded coconut
• 2 drop Food coloring
• 10 pair Candy eyes
• 20 pieces Pink jelly beans
• 10 miniature Marshmallows
• 10 strand Licorice

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 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. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack.
6. Once the cake is completely cooled, frost it with buttercream frosting. Sprinkle shredded coconut over the frosting to resemble fur.
7. Use food coloring to tint a small portion of the frosting pink. Use this pink frosting to pipe the bunny's nose and inner ears.
8. Place candy eyes on the bunny's face. Use pink jelly beans for the bunny's cheeks, miniature marshmallows for the teeth, and licorice for the whiskers.
9. Allow the frosting to set for at least 1 hour before serving.
