Ingredients:

• 1 cup of milk
• ½ cup of unsalted butter, softened
• 3 eggs
• 2 teaspoons of baking powder

• Pink jelly beans or candy for the nose

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease the cake pans.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture alternately with the milk.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Allow the cakes to cool completely before removing them from the pans.
7. Once the cakes are cooled, use a serrated knife to level the tops if necessary.
8. Place one cake layer on a serving platter and frost the top. Then, place the second layer on top and frost the entire cake with buttercream frosting.
9. Use food coloring to tint some of the frosting pink for the inner ears and nose of the bunny.
10. Cut out two ear shapes from the top of the cake and frost them with the pink frosting. Place them on top of the cake.
11. Use shredded coconut to cover the rest of the cake for a fluffy bunny fur look.
12. Add candy eyes and a pink jelly bean or candy for the bunny's nose.
13. Get creative and use additional frosting and candies to decorate the bunny's face and add any other details you like.
