Ingredients
- All-purpose flour
- Granulated sugar
- Baking powder
- Salt
- Unsalted butter, softened
- Eggs
- Vanilla extract
- Milk
- Cream cheese
- Powdered sugar
- Heavy cream
- Food coloring (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cake Batter: Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add softened butter and mix until crumbly. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, vanilla, and milk. Gradually add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Bake the Cakes: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. Divide batter evenly and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
- Make the Cream Cheese Frosting: Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing until combined. Add heavy cream and vanilla, and beat until light and fluffy. Add food coloring if desired.
- Assemble and Decorate: Level the cooled cakes if necessary. Place one layer on a serving plate and frost generously. Place the second layer on top and frost the entire cake. Use a piping bag to create a bunny face, ears, and other decorations.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter.
- Don’t overmix the batter to avoid a tough cake.
- Ensure the cakes are completely cool before frosting to prevent melting.
- Use a serrated knife to level the cakes for a more professional look.
