Rabbit Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
Directions
Grease and flour the cake pans with butter or shortening, then sprinkle flour in the pan; tap the pan until flour spreads and covers pan bottom.
Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into the electric mixer bowl.
Add the shortening, milk, vanilla, and eggs. Mix on low speed for one minute.
Scrape the sides of the bowl, then turn mixer to high speed. Beat for three minutes.
Pour into pans and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in the cake center comes out clean.
Cool in pans for ten minutes, then turn cake layers onto a wire rack.
The Cake:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup shortening
1-1/2 cups sugar
1 cup milk
3-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1-1/4 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon salt
Three eggs
Heat oven to 350-degrees.
Directions:
Gradually add sugar, beating at medium to high speed until the frosting is smooth and will spread easily. If necessary, add more milk.
Cut the cooled cake and arrange as follows:
Add jelly beans for the bunny's eyes and strips of licorice for whiskers, if desired. You could also cover the rabbit with coconut for a very special Easter dessert!
Recipe makes six to eight servings.
Cream Cheese Frosting:
One, 3-ounce package cream cheese, softened
Dash salt
1 tablespoon milk
2-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Place the cream cheese, milk, vanilla, and salt in the electric mixer bowl. Mix on medium speed until well blended.
Leave one layer intact. Cut the other layer to form the bunny's ears and bow tie. Spread the frosting between the head, ear, and bow tie pieces, then over top and sides.
