Bunny Cake
- 1 Betty Crocker Chocolate Fudge cake mix
- 1 4 oz Jello Chocolate Instant Pudding
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 4 eggs
Butter 'Cream' Icing
- 1 5 or 6 oz pkg Chocolate Pudding I used 160 gram Jello or 180 Gram Dr. Oetker (not instant)
- 1 ½ cups cold milk (use ½ the liquid the pudding mix calls for)
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 3 chocolate candies for eyes and nose
- 2 pink Ju Jubes or jellies for ears
Cake
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Spray cake mold or pan liberally with cooking spray.
Mix cake mix and pudding powder together well.
Mix water, oil and eggs.
Add wet mixture to dry mixture and beat 2-3 minutes till batter is smooth.
If using a mold bake about 50 minutes til a long skewer comes out clean. If using other cake pans bake according to cake mix directions for your cake pan size.
When cake is done remove from oven and allow to cool about 20 minutes. Gently unmold the cake and allow cake to cool completely before icing.
Icing
Add the liquid to the pudding powder in a sauce pan. Heat over medium heat stirring constantly til mixture becomes thick.
Set the sauce pan in the sink with cold water to help cool it quickly. Stir while cooling. Beat in the unsalted butter.
Ice the cake with a spatula or pipe the icing as desired.
Add a chocolate candy for each eye and the nose. For the bunny cake cut the pink candy into a strip and highlight center of the bunny ear.
Serve with Frozen Yogurt Ice Cream.
Lamb Cake
For the lamb you can substitute Vanilla cake mix and vanilla pudding (s) for white cake and icing.
