Bunny Cake
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.
