Ingredients

• 1.75 Cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 Cups white sugar
• 0.875 Cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1.5 Teaspoons (tsp) baking powder
• 1.5 Teaspoons (tsp) baking soda
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) salt
• 2 Whole eggs
• 1 Cup milk
• 0.75 Cups rapeseed oil
• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) vanilla extract
• 1 Cup boiling water, drained
• 1.125 Cups unsalted butter, softened
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) vanilla extract
• 4.5 Cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) milk
• 0.25 Cup sweetened flaked coconut
• 10 Assorted candy decorations
• 1 Ounce black gel food coloring

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch springform pans.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make a well in the center and add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until well combined, about 2 minutes. Stir in boiling water. Divide the batter between the prepared pans.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool in the pans on wire racks for 10 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto wire racks. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
4. For the frosting, cream together butter and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Blend in confectioners' sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, until fully incorporated. Beat in milk until frosting is light and fluffy. Keep icing covered until ready to decorate.
5. Place 1 whole cooked cake on a serving tray for the bunny's head. Cut 2 convex-shaped ears from each side of the second cake. Place ears on each side of the head. Use the remaining concave-shaped piece for the bowtie; position it about 1/2 inch below the head.
6. Spread frosting over the entire cake. Sprinkle with flaked coconut to make the surface look like fur. Decorate the bunny face and bowtie with candy decorations and use the black decorating icing to draw on whiskers.
