EASTER BUNNY CAKE
This was a favorite of mine when I was a kid but the instructions have long since been lost. I saw all kinds of "Bunny" cakes, but nothing even came close to this one... although I did manage to find a photo of it online. (It's hard to tell from the photo, but the feet are 2 layers high and the rest of the cake just one) So please excuse my crude drawings and directions, but you will have fun making it!! Great project to make with the kids, too, since you can get really creative with the decorations (other than just the ribbon bow) and can really dress it up. P.S. No law says it has to be a WHITE bunny, either... ;) ;)

Steps:
- Prepare cake mix according to directions on box for 2 round 9" layers.
- Tint 1/4 cup of the coconut pink (I'm guessing at the amount) for the center of ears and feet.
- Tint 2 tablespoons of the frosting brown for decorating face and feet ( or you can buy one of those prepared decorating icing tubes).
- When cake is cool, cut layers as shown in diagram (see other photo).
- Take 4 of the 8 outer ring pieces and frost the tops. Place 1 of the remaining 4 on top of each and frost top and sides. These will make the feet of the bunny.
- Place round-cut center piece next to the top edge of the square, keeping them both flat, to form body and head.
- Assemble the 4 side pieces in twos, flat sides together (you can use a little frosting to hold them together) to form the ears and arrange at the top of the head.
- Frost entire cake and attach the completed feet, 2 on each side of the body.
- Sprinkle coconut over entire cake and decorate with jelly beans/gumdrops for eyes, nose, etc. as desired, using pink-tinted coconut for center of ears and feet.
- Here's where you can really have fun and get creative! You can tie the ribbon in a bow and place on the cake as a bowtie, make buttons out of the candy, add a hat, etc.
- ** Tip for using frosting to decorate without a pastry bag: Spoon the frosting into one corner of a small plastic sandwich baggie, twist tightly and snip off the tip of the corner. Voila!
- Note: The finished cake is almost 2 feet long so be sure to have it on a large enough cookie sheet or platter!
- Servings vary on how you decide to divide up the body (er, bunny) parts -- .

Steps:
- To make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Butter and flour 1(6-inch) diameter and 1 (8-inch) diameter metal bowls. Combine the cake mix, coconut water, oil, and eggs in another large clean bowl. Beat for 2 minutes, or until well blended. Pour 2 cups of batter into the smaller buttered and floured bowl; pour remaining batter into the larger prepared bowl. Bake the smaller cake for 40 minutes and the larger cake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Cool the cakes in the bowls on a cooling rack for 30 minutes. Invert the cakes onto the cooling rack and cool completely.
- To decorate: Cut the larger cake in half, forming 2 half-moon pieces. Spread 1/4 cup of frosting over the flat top of each piece. Place the pieces cut side down on a work surface, adhering the frosted sides together. Trim 1-inch from 1 end of the cake; discard the trimmings. Repeat with the smaller cake. Place the larger cake on a serving platter. Spread 2 tablespoons of frosting over the trimmed end of the smaller cake. Place the trimmed end of the smaller cake against the trimmed end of the larger cake. Spread the remaining frosting over the cakes to cover completely. Sprinkle with all but 1/2 cup of the coconut, pressing to adhere. Brush the melted milk chocolate over both sides of the chocolate chunk cookie halves to coat completely. Sprinkle with the reserved 1/2 cup of coconut; set aside until dry. Press 2 semi-sweet chocolate morsels onto the bunny face for eyes. Using a toothpick, secure the gum drop onto the bunny face for the nose. Using toothpicks, secure the licorice pieces onto the bunny face for the whiskers. Using toothpicks, secure the mini-marshmallows onto the bunny face for the teeth. Make 2-inch-deep cuts atop the bunny head; insert the chocolate cookie halves for ears. Roll large the marshmallows together and secure with a toothpick onto the bunny for a tail.
Tips:
- For a more intense chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate or semisweet chocolate chips.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off.
- To make the bunny's whiskers, you can use thin strips of licorice or chocolate.
- To make the bunny's eyes, you can use candy eyes or chocolate chips.
- For a more festive look, decorate the cake with sprinkles or Easter eggs.
Conclusion:
This Easter Bunny Cake is a fun and delicious treat that is perfect for any Easter celebration. It is easy to make and can be decorated in a variety of ways to suit your taste. Whether you are hosting a party or simply want to enjoy a special dessert with your family, this cake is sure to be a hit.
