Easy Easter bunny bundt cakes

Today we'll show you how we use small fondant bunny ears to create cute Easter bunny bundt cakes from yoghurt bundt cakes.

It wasn't that long ago that we had we baked our our first Easter bunny cone cakes . Today we want to bake Easter bunnies again, but this time we decorate our beloved mini bundt cakes into cute little Easter bunnies. (By the way, they would also look wonderful on our Easter Cakeboard !)

Recipe for mini Easter bunny bundt cakes

This recipe is always a hit with the minis. Children love to bake - and if they can decorate a motif, it's twice as much fun for them! (At least that's my experience 😉)

If your child likes to knead, shaping the bunny ears for the Easter bunny bundt cakes will be a lot of fun for him and will also promote fine motor skills.

Little tip: If this is your first time baking with a silicone baking pan, you will find these tips for successful baking with silicone baking molds helpful.

Preparation

In the first step we bake the yoghurt bundt cakes. While the little treats are cooling down, we will concentrate on the fondant ears.

We bake yogurt bundt cakes

• Wash out the silicone baking mold with cold water and preheat the oven to 160°C top/bottom heat
• Beat the eggs and stir together with the sugar and vanilla sugar for 5 minutes until frothy
• Stir in flour, baking powder and sunflower oil
• Add yogurt and mix
• Pour the batter into the mini bundt pan using a teaspoon
• Bake mini bundt cakes for 10-12 minutes at 160°C top/bottom heat (use the stick test to see whether the bundt cakes are baked through)
• Let the finished baked Bundt cakes cool in the silicone baking mold on the cooling rack

We decorate Easter bunny bundt cakes

While the Bundt cakes cool in the silicone baking mold, we take care of the sweet decoration.

• Form 40 equally sized balls from the white fondant
• Then roll the ball between your hands until it is approx. 3 cm long. Use your fingers to carefully squeeze one end of the roll into a point and fix half a toothpick in the other
• Carefully paint the middle of the ears with a little liquid food coloring.

Now that the bunny ears are finished, let's put our bunny together.

• First, carefully press the cooled yogurt bundt cakes out of the silicone baking mold
• Now let the ruby ​​chocolate slowly melt in a water bath
• Carefully dip the “tip” of the yogurt bundt cake into the melted chocolate and slowly stick two fondant ears onto each bundt cake so that they become Easter bunny bundt cakes
• Finally, your mini can decorate them with pretty sprinkles. We put small butterflies on some of their ears as “bows”. My minis are convinced that these are the “girl bunnies” 😉

We hope you and your minis have lots of fun baking, shaping and decorating!

Yours, Lia
