Quick Easter Cake Recipe: Simple & Fun Chocolate Bunny Cake for Easter by Donna John
My sister-in-law made the cutest Easter cake using chocolate Easter bunnies, shredded coconut and jellybeans. So simple but so cute! This easy Easter cake recipe is a creative way to use that Easter candy and have a little fun with the kids.
The cake is made with a boxed cake mix, but if you have a favorite homemade cake recipe and the time, go for it! Shredded coconut is tinted green with food coloring for the grass. Simply place the coconut into a bowl or plastic bag and mix it with the food coloring until it turns green. Frost the cake with premade vanilla frosting or your favorite homemade vanilla or cream cheese frosting. Next, sprinkle the green coconut on the bottom of the cake to create the grass. Put chocolate Easter bunnies onto the cake and embellish with jellybeans. Adorable, right?
The fun bunny cake could be made ahead of time, or make it a family affair on Easter Day and decorate the baked cake after the big Easter egg hunt with all the goodies.
