Let’s Make this Beautiful and Delicious Bunny Bottoms Up Easter Cake

These are the steps to follow to create the Bunny Butt Cake. This is not the recipe, but if you’d like to jump to the recipe, just scroll down to the bottom of this post.

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F (or whatever your cake mix calls for).
2. Prepare your baking pans by lining the bottoms with parchment paper. If you don’t have parchment paper, you can use cooking spray on the bottom of the pans only.
3. In a large bowl, add the cake mix and instant pudding powder
4. Stir to combine.
5. Add milk and stir or use a whisk to incorporate.
6. Add eggs, one at a time.
7. Add oil and use an electric mixer to beat well and combine.
8. If you would like to add green food color (or any other food coloring) to your cake, this would be the time to do that.
9. Use a spoon or spatula to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl and stir to combine any unincorporated ingredients.
10. Pour the cake batter into your prepared cake pans.
11. Place the pans in the preheated oven.
12. Bake for approximately 24 to 29 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
13. Remove cake from oven and place on each cake on a wire rack.
14. Remove cakes from pans, and layer with frosting. Also frost the outside of the cake.
15. Remove KitKat candies from wrappers, and stand up along the outside of the cake frosting.
16. Set the Hot Cocoa Bomb on top of the cake, and pull some frosting up around it. Make sure that the bunny’s feet are above the frosting.
17. Pour the M & M candies onto the top of the cake to surround bunny.
18. Add a ribbon, tied around the entire cake.
19. This cake can be kept at room temperature, or can be placed in the fridge.
20. Enjoy!

What is a Cake?

A cake is typically a baked, sweet food. Back in the beginning of cakes, they were mostly sweetened breads. But nowadays, cakes can be very extravagant and they may cover a very wide range of intricate preparations. On the other hand, some cakes are extremely simple. A cake may begin with a purchased mix that only requires the addition of water and can be cooked in the microwave (using a small microwave oven-safe bowl or mug).

Cake can be categorized by the ingredients and mixing techniques. Some common classifications are:

• Butter Cake. These cakes are normally made from the basic ingredients of butter, sugar, flour and eggs.
• Chocolate Cake. A chocolate cake may also be categorized as a butter cake or sponge cake, or any other cake. But all chocolate cakes are flavored with chocolate.
• Coffee Cake. One might initially think that a coffee cake is flavored with coffee…but NO! Coffee cake is made to be eaten with coffee or tea. Crumb toppings are typical of most coffee cakes.
• Flourless Cake. Cheesecake is a typical example of a flourless cake.
• Layer Cake. Sponge or butter cakes can be layered with icing or other filling to create a layer cake.
• One Egg Cake. Butter or vegetable shortening is added to the cake recipe, which can produce a delicious cake with only one egg.
• Sponge Cake. These are sometimes also known as foam cakes. The basic ingredients of sponge cake are whipped eggs, flour, and sugar.

Cakes can also be classified by the occasion they will be used for, such as birthday cakes, wedding cakes, or other special occasions. Another way to classify cakes is by shape, such as cupcakes, bundt cakes, cake balls, or sheet cakes. The recipe in this post is for a special occasion, and showcases the bunny tail.

What is an Easter Cake?

It depends on where you live that determines what an Easter cake is. In the United Kingdom and Ireland, they traditionally serve a Simnel cake for Easter. The Simnel cake is a fruit cake with marzipan-like icing.

But, when I was a kid (living in Texas), the traditional Easter cake was a layer cake with what my mom called white mountain icing (made from egg whites and sugar). She would put green colored coconut on top with jelly beans or small chocolate eggs on top. Sometimes, she would bake cupcakes instead of a cake. That was our tradition. but we have a new tradition now!
