Decadent one-hour chocolate cake with Easter bunny decor.
Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa
  • 1 box Betty Crocker™ Delights Super Moist™ Dark Chocolate Cake Mix
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup good quality dark chocolate, chopped
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons light corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons of milk
  • Bunch fresh mint sprigs
  • 2 large chocolate bunnies, unwrapped
  • 10-12 pastel malted candy eggs
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Thoroughly coat a 12-cup fluted tube cake pan with baking spray containing flour, then dust with cocoa, tapping out any excess.
  • In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to blend cake mix, eggs, butter, and water on low speed for 30 seconds. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes, occasionally scraping down the sides of the bowl. Gently fold in the chocolate.
  • Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the top springs back when lightly touched in the center. Allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, invert a cooling rack or heatproof plate over the pan, flip it over, and remove the pan. Let it cool completely for about 2 hours before serving.
  • Combine powdered sugar, corn syrup, cream, and peppermint extract in a medium bowl. Beat on low speed until blended, then switch to medium speed until smooth and creamy. Gradually add milk until the icing reaches a spoon-coating consistency.
  • Frost the cooled cake with icing. Arrange mint sprigs in the center, place a chocolate bunny on top, and surround with malted eggs. Place a second chocolate bunny on the side. Garnish with more mint sprigs as desired.
