When you are making this Easter Bunny Cake you can make it any flavor you want to. If you are running short on time and want to use a boxed cake mix you can, but if you are doing that I suggest following the steps for how to make a box cake better, because you will end up with an AMAZING cake!
If you are wanting to make a cake from scratch there are lots of different cake flavors that would be great! When I am making a homemade cake my go to cake recipes are:
For the frosting on this bunny cake you will want to use a white frosting. There are quite a few different white frostings that are perfect for this Easter Bunny cake.
- Marshmallow Buttercream Frosting
- Vanilla Buttercream Frosting
- Cream cheese frosting
- Vanilla Whipped Frosting
- Almond Buttercream
How to Make an Easter Bunny Cake
The trick that makes making this Easter Bunny cake so easy is that you are going to make the cake using a normal round shaped cake pan. Once your cake is done baking you will let it cool and then cut the cake in half.
You can easily customize this Easter Bunny with additional features, such as a face if you would like to. I personally prefer mine with just the bunny ears. Although warning, if you have a prankster like my husband, you might end up with a Hershey kiss at the backside of the bunny. (Yup, leave it to a husband to add some “extras”. LOL.
When making this Easter Cake I like to add a little green grass around your serving platter. Super easy just use dyed some coconut. If you have never dyed coconut check out How to Dye Coconut for the super simple directions.
Easter Bunny Cake Ingredients:
- One 8 or 9 inch vanilla round cake – either one will work.
- 1 1/2 cups coconut
- Large marshmallow
- Solid colored ball sprinkles
If you are adding green grass on the bottom then you will want an additional 3/4 cup of dyed coconut.
