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.

Recipe for Bunny Cake

Preheat oven to 200 degree C. Grease a 8 inch cake pan with oil and dust it with flour. Coat all side and tap of the excess. Set aside.
Take flour, baking powder and salt in a sifter and sieve it once. Set aside.
Take butter, sugar and vanilla in a bowl and beat till fluffy.
Add in egg one at a time and beat till fluffy.
Now add in half of the flour mix in and add in milk. Fold gently. Now add remaining flour and fold gently.
Spoon this in the pan and bake for 35 to 40 mins until a tooth pick inserted comes out clean. Remove it from oven and let it cool down for 5 mins.
Now un mould it and cool it completely. Wrap it in plastic wrap and chill for couple of hours.
Now make vanilla butter cream frosting. Sieve the icing sugar really well. Beat butter very well till it gets fluffy. Add 2 cups of of the sugar, one at a time and beat well. Pour in 1 tbsp of milk and continue beating. Now add another 2 cups of of the icing sugar one cup at a time and beat well. Now add another tbsp of milk and beat well. Continue to beat till it gets fluffy and shiny. Add in vanilla essence and beat till fluffy.
Decorate cake and enjoy.

Decorate Bunny Cake

Cut the cake in half and sandwich both with the frosting. Cut a section of cake as shown in pictures and place it as tail by securing it with toothpick. Now cover the entire cake with frosting and top with coconut.
Now dye the remaining butter cream with green food colour and pipe it around the plate to resemble grass.
Place candies for eyes and nose. Cut chart paper like ears and place it in the cake.
Now bunny cake is ready.

Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you. HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE.
