Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 4 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup whole milk
• 4 cups powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons heavy cream
• 3 drops each food coloring (pink, green, and yellow)
• 1 package small candy decorations (bunny shapes, flowers, etc.)
• 1 cup shredded coconut (optional, for grass effect)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

Add the softened butter into the dry mix and blend with a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Pour in the milk gradually, mixing on low speed until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the cakes to cool in their pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Prepare the buttercream frosting by beating the softened butter in a large bowl until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract, beating until fluffy. Divide the frosting into separate bowls and tint with food coloring as desired.

Step 10

Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of frosting on top. Add the second cake layer and frost the top and sides of the cake.

Step 11

Decorate the cake with candy bunny shapes, flowers, and colored frosting details. Sprinkle with shredded coconut for a grassy appearance if desired.

Step 12

Chill the cake for 30 minutes to set the decorations before serving.
