Method
 

Baking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans thoroughly with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together 1 cup of softened butter and 1.5 cups of granulated sugar with an electric mixer for 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with 1 cup of whole milk or buttermilk until just combined.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes.
  7. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then invert onto wire racks to cool completely.
  8. Cut one of the cooled cakes in half to create the bunny's head, positioning both halves with rounded sides facing up.
  9. Use the second cake for the body, placing it below the head.
  10. Frost the cake with your favorite frosting, sprinkle shredded coconut on top, and decorate with candies.
