BUNNY CARROT CAKE
Carrot cake, naturally, is the foundation for our cotton-candy-tailed Easter bunny cake. Miniature marshmallows make fur that is inexpensive, easy to apply, and fun to eat, while gold licorice whiskers are a cute touch.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Coat an ovenproof 13-inch-diameter 6-quart bowl with cooking spray. Dust with flour, and tap out excess. Set aside.
- Whisk together carrots, eggs, buttermilk, sugar, oil, vanilla seeds, and raisins in a large bowl. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves in a medium bowl. Stir flour mixture into carrot mixture. Transfer batter to prepared bowl.
- Bake until a tester comes out clean, about 2 1/2 hours. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool in bowl 40 minutes. Unmold onto rack. Let cool completely.
- Place cake, broad side down, on a cutting board. Using a serrated knife, trim 2 sides to create a slightly pointed head and body. Using 2 scraps from sides, cut out two 5-inch-long ears. (Trim bases of ears at an angle so that they will lean toward tail.) Attach with frosting. From 1 scrap, carve a ballshaped tail that has 1 flat side; attach with frosting. Refrigerate cake 20 minutes. Spread a thick layer of frosting over cake.
- Cover entire cake (except for insides of ears and the tail) with marshmallows. Press in espresso beans for eyes and the jelly bean for a nose. Add 8 pieces of licorice for whiskers. Just before serving, cover ears and tail with cotton candy.

BRER RABBIT CARROT CAKE
This is another recipe from Eating for IBS by Heather Van Vorous. It's posted in response to a request for low-fat carrot cakes. I haven't tried it myself, but have heard rave reviews about it from others. The sweet orange icing looks like a great touch, although I'm sure it would be great without it or with your own choice of icings, too.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Spray a 10-inch non-stick bundt pan with cooking oil and set aside.
- Sift the first 7 ingredients (flour to granulated sugar) into a large bowl and stir well to combine.
- In a separate large bowl, beat next 7 ingredients (brown sugar to pineapple) with an electric mixer until well combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry with just a few swift strokes by hand; do not over-beat or the cake will be tough.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 45-55 minutes, until toothpick or cake tester inserted into center comes out clean.
- Cool on rack (in pan) for 10 minutes, then invert onto rack and cool to room temperature.
- Top with Sweet Orange Icing (or another icing of your choice).
- To make Sweet Orange Icing: Combine all icing ingredients and blend with a fork until smooth.
- Use immediately to top cake (if icing sits it will harden).
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before starting, gather and measure all ingredients and equipment. This will ensure smooth and efficient cooking.
- Fresh Ingredients: Use the freshest carrots possible for the best flavor and texture in your carrot cake.
- Properly Creaming Butter and Sugar: Creaming butter and sugar together until light and fluffy is crucial for a moist and flavorful carrot cake.
- Gradually Add Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, to prevent curdling.
- Fold in Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the dry ingredients to avoid overmixing, which can result in a tough and dense cake.
- Use Quality Spices: Freshly ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger will provide the best flavor.
- Don't Overbake: Baking the cake for the correct amount of time is crucial. Overbaking can dry out and toughen the carrot cake.
- Let it Cool Completely: Allow the carrot cake to cool completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
- Cream Cheese Frosting: For a classic carrot cake experience, use a rich and tangy cream cheese frosting.
