AUNT MARY'S DELICIOUS BUNNY CAKE
This cake is great to make in character pans such as a Santa Claus, train pan, or bunny mold. Buttercream frosting is great but you can use other frostings if desired. Color your frosting with desired shade of food coloring.

Steps:
- Place a rack into the lower third of oven.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Grease and flour a cake mold pan (such as a bunny cake or train cake mold) using vegetable shortening.
- Sift flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
- Mix 1 1/3 cup milk, lemon extract, 1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract, and orange extract in a separate bowl.
- Beat unsalted butter in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until butter is creamy and smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Beat in white sugar and continue beating until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 5 more minutes. Scrape the sides of the bowl occasionally.
- Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating each egg in thoroughly before adding the next.
- Reduce mixer speed to low and beat in flour mixture in several additions, alternating with milk mixture; begin and end with flour mixture. Do not overbeat. Scrape bowl occasionally.
- Pour batter evenly into prepared cake pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean, 30 to 45 minutes.
- Place cake in pan on a wire rack and allow to cool for 15 minutes before inverting pan to remove cake. Allow cake to completely cool on wire rack, 3 to 4 hours.
- Beat vegetable shortening, 1/2 cup butter, confectioners' sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and 1 teaspoon clear vanilla extract in a bowl until frosting is smooth and creamy.
- Pack the frosting into a heavy resealable plastic bag; force the frosting into one corner of the bag. Clip a small corner off the plastic bag, seal the bag, and pipe the frosting onto the cooled cake in desired pattern.

AUNT MARY'S DEEP DISH BROWNIES
Use only a very dark unsweetened cocoa powder. I favor Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa powder. I do a couple of variations including pouring a can of sweetened condensed milk over the top of the batter once in the pan and then sprinkling 2/3 cup of coconut on top of that before baking. Last night I put toasted walnuts in them. ...

Steps:
- 1. Mix all ingredients together. Pour into a greased 8x8 pan and bake for 40-45 minutes at 350 degrees.
Tips:
- Use all-purpose flour for a light and fluffy cake.
- Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature before starting.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter cake.
- Gradually add the eggs to the butter and sugar mixture, beating well after each addition.
- Sift the flour before adding it to the batter. This will help prevent lumps.
- Add the flour to the batter in three additions, alternating with the milk. This will help prevent the batter from becoming too thick.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that the cake cooks evenly.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can toughen the cake.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
