- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
- Pink food coloring

For the decorations:

- Marshmallows

To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, until the batter is smooth.
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Let the cakes cool completely before removing them from the pans.
While the cakes are cooling, make the frosting. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;">powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla extract and enough milk to make a smooth, spreadable frosting. Add a few drops of pink food coloring to tint the frosting a pale pink.
To assemble the cake, place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of frosting on top. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining frosting. Use your hands to press the shredded coconut onto the sides of the cake to create a furry texture.
To make the bunny ears, cut marshmallows in half diagonally and dip the cut side into pink candy melts. Place the ears on a piece of wax paper to dry. Once the candy has hardened, insert the ears into the top of the cake.
This Easter Bunny Ears Cake is sure to be a hit with kids and adults alike. The cake is moist and fluffy, with a sweet and creamy frosting that perfectly complements the coconut texture. The bunny ears add a fun and playful touch that will make everyone smile.
