Easter cakes are cakes or sweet breads traditionally prepared and served during the Easter season. This bunny cake is a special cake which you can make and celebrate easter.

Bunny Cake

I was thinking to make something for this easter. So when i searched for recipes i came across couple of recipes which made me try it immediately. It is this bunny cake and a easter bread. The cake is pretty simple to make and it looks so cute. Calls for basic ingredients as well.

Easter cakes are delicious pastries or cakes that are usually baked and eaten around Easter time. They've long been linked to the Catholic, Greek Orthodox, and Russian Orthodox churches, as well as a few other Christian denominations in Northern Europe. Bunny-shaped cakes are simple to prepare. Simply cut two ears out of a round cake and set them on top of another cake arranged to appear like a bunny head.

I will be sharing the easter bread recipe next, so make sure you check them as well. I made this cake and when I finished taking all the pics I realized that i missed to add mustache. You can either use strip candies for that or thinly cut carrots for it.

Ingredients For Easter Bunny Cake Recipe

Desiccated coconut:

Desiccated coconut impart a coconut flavour and texture and as a topping or coating. Dried coconut is delicious eaten by itself as a snack, added to hot or cold cereal, and as an addition to baked goods.

Unsalted Butter :

Unsalted butter gives you complete control of the overall flavor of your recipe. This is especially important in certain baked goods where the pure, sweet cream flavor of butter is key.

Milk :

Milk makes the batter wet enough for the chemical reactions to take place.

Icing Sugar :

It dissolves fast, making it ideal for use in icings, butter creams, frostings, and sweets, as well as dusting cakes and cookies after they've been baked.

The cake which i used is a single layer 8 inch vanilla cake. You can make any cake for this and use. In fact you can make carrot cake and make this bunny cake which makes much more sense.
