To make this Easter bunny cake, a basic buttermilk cake is topped with buttercream frosting, flaked coconut, jelly beans, and licorice laces. The cake itself is made with egg whites, baking soda, and baking powder to become light and fluffy. Buttermilk adds a delightful tang to the cake’s tender crumb.
Red food coloring helps create the pink inner ears and rosy cheeks of the bunny, and you can choose whatever candies you’d like to help give his face its endearing expression, although licorice laces and jelly beans are Wheeler’s preference.
