Ingredients

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)
  • cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 3 chocolate candies for eyes and nose
  • 2 pink Ju Jubes or jellies for ears

Instructions

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.

Notes

Lamb Cake
For the lamb you can substitute Vanilla cake mix and vanilla pudding (s) for white cake and icing.
