True to the motto “Hattu Möhrchen?”, we delight the Easter Bunny with the juicy carrot cake for Easter. Everyone knows that bunnies like to eat carrots... All you have to do is ask my little one, she will confirm that 😉 I did need some persuasion to talk the carrots out of my little one's hand - she would much rather give them to her childminder's bunnies feed rather than incorporate into our cake batter. But in the end she was very happy that the vegetables ended up in the cake. Because she thought the cake was delicious! You can see for yourself here:
