  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  3. Add vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared bunny-shaped cake pan.
  5. Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  7. Once cooled, decorate the cake with chocolate frosting to cover the entire bunny shape.
  8. Sprinkle toasted shredded coconut over the frosting to mimic fluffy fur.
  9. Optional: Add candies or decorations to enhance the bunny’s features.

Notes

Ensure the cake is completely cooled before decorating to prevent melting the frosting. Toast the shredded coconut beforehand for added flavor and texture.
