Easter Bunny Patch Cake

Ingredients:
– 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
– 2 teaspoons baking powder
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– ½ teaspoon salt
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
– 4 large eggs
– 1 cup buttermilk
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– Green food coloring
– 2 cups shredded coconut
– Jelly beans
– Mini chocolate bunny candies

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease three 8-inch round cake pans. Line the bottom of the pans with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

4. Stir in the vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.

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

7. While the cakes are cooling, prepare the decorations. In a small bowl, add a few drops of green food coloring to the shredded coconut. Mix until the coconut is evenly colored.

8. Once the cakes are completely cooled, level the tops if necessary. Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of frosting on top. Repeat with the remaining cake layers.

9. Frost the sides of the cake, creating a rustic texture with the frosting to resemble a bunny patch. Press the green coconut onto the sides of the cake to create the grass.

10. Decorate the top of the cake with jelly beans to resemble Easter eggs. Arrange the mini chocolate bunny candies on top of the cake, creating a cute bunny scene.

11. Serve and enjoy your Easter Bunny Patch Cake with family and friends!
