Preparation: 30 minutes

Cooking: 35 minutes

Total: 1 hour 5 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup buttermilk
½ cup shredded coconut, for decorating
4 small candy eyes
Pink candy-coated chocolates, for the bunny’s nose
Pink licorice pieces, for the bunny’s whiskers
Pink construction paper or cardstock, for the bunny’s ears

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cake is cooled, cut it in half horizontally to create two round layers.
Place one layer on a serving plate and spread a thin layer of frosting on top. Place the second layer on top and frost the entire cake with a thick layer of frosting.
Decorate the cake with shredded coconut to resemble fur. Place the candy eyes, pink candy-coated chocolates for the nose, and pink licorice pieces for the whiskers.
Cut out bunny ears from pink construction paper or cardstock and attach them to the top of the cake.
Serve and enjoy this adorable and delicious bunny cake!
