Chocolate Covered Cake Bunnies - adorable Easter treats that are super easy to make! Delicious lemon cake in shape of bunnies covered in white chocolate - you will love these!
I got crafty again.
I made Easter bunnies from a lemon sheet cake and covered them in white chocolate. Then I stuck a flower bead on their.... well, bottom.
My kids love them and now I have to make them again for Easter.
Besides, these little creatures are so easy and so adorable that it's hard not to swoon over them! 🙂
I made a lemon sheet cake that is absolutely delicious and perfect for Easter or any Spring event. You don't have to make bunnies - use any cookie cutters you like. This cake can take it! It has the perfect height for this. I think you could even stack two bunnies with a layer of jam in between and then frost them or cover with chocolate! Be creative!
It's a new to me product but I am having a lot of fun dipping my treats in chocolate!
These bunnies would be fabulous wrapped in treats bags and given to kids for Easter!
Chocolate Covered Cake Bunnies Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter 2 sticks
- 1 cup water
- 2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs beaten
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon lemon extract
- 2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 14 oz. white chocolate candy coating
- 1 drop pink gel food coloring
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Grease a 15"x 10" baking pan or line it with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Set aside.
- Place butter and water in a medium saucepan and bring to boil. Remove from heat.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour and sugar.
- In another bowl, whisk together eggs, sour cream, lemon extract, zest, baking soda and salt.
- Add the hot butter mixture slowly to the flour mixture, whisking well.
- Add ¼ of a cup of the butter and flour mixture to the eggs and sour cream mixture to temper it.
- Add the rest of the hot mixture and mix well with a wooden spoon or a spatula until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Smooth out the top.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes (the magic number for me was 23 minutes).
- Let cool completely in the pan.
- Once the cake is cooled, take it out carefully from the pan onto a cutting board. It helps to bake the cake in a parchment paper or aluminum foil lined pan as it makes taking the cake out easier.
- Cut out the bunnies with a cookie cutter and place them on another clean baking sheet.
- Melt chocolate candy coating in a double boiler.
- Dip the bunnies top side down in the chocolate coating and let the excess of the chocolate drip down back into the bowl. Helping yourself with a spoon, coat the sides of the bunnies with the chocolate coating.
- Let the bunnies sit on parchment paper lined baking sheet or on a cooling rack set over a baking sheet.
- Once the chocolate coating is set, decorate the bunnies gluing them with dots of the remaining chocolate coating.

So sweet for Easter! Chocolate covered cuteness, that's what this is. You always make cuteness look good, not tacky. Thank you for sharing, Anna!

So cute! I love how simple (and easy to make) they are yet absolutely adorable! Lemon cake is a favorite of mine but you could make any flavor at all. 🙂
