How to Make Devil's Food Bunny Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar.
- Add 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter to the dry ingredients.
- Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 large eggs, 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and ¼ cup milk.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Pour batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto wire racks to cool completely.
- Once cooled, carefully level the tops of the cakes with a serrated knife.
- Cut one cake layer in half to create a bow tie shape and two ear shapes.
- Frost the entire cake with your favorite frosting.
- Tint ¼ cup sweetened shredded coconut red with food coloring.
- Sprinkle the red coconut onto the center of the ears.
- Use gumdrops for the nose, eyes, and polka dots on the bow tie. Use red licorice strips for the mouth and whiskers.
- Optionally, tint additional coconut green and sprinkle around the base of the bunny.
