Get excited for springtime with these adorable Easter Bunny Bundt Cakes topped with vanilla buttercream and sugar-coated marshmallow.
From Young At Heart Mommy
You know you’re a mom when: the highlight of your child-less morning is whipping out the new bundt pan you bought at Michaels last week. I used to think a solo shopping experience in the Target dollar section was therapeutic until I discovered the true joy of baking in an empty house without hearing “I want one!”, “Can I lick that?”, and “Are you done yet?” every five minutes. I take my “mom time” very seriously these days and if there’s one thing I love to do when alone, it’s make or bake something. Once 2 P.M rolls around, it’s all about homework and reading. Until then, it’s buttercream, bundt cakes, and binge watching Dr. Phil re-runs in the background!
With Easter approaching, I thought it would be fun to make a sweet yet simple dessert since we’ll be hosting for friends and family again this year. Easter Bunny Bundt Cakes are an egg-cellent way to surprise guests after dinner and there’s not much to them. For this recipe I used a Sprinkles Vanilla Cupcake Mix purchased from Disney Springs during my last visit. If you can get your hands on this or have time to order online, I highly recommend it! If not, any boxed cake mix will do just fine.

Ingredients:
- Sprinkles Vanilla Cupcake Mix or Betty Crocker™ Super Moist Vanilla Cake Mix
- PEEPS® Marshmallow Bunnies
- Wilton Easter sprinkles
- 1 cup salted butter, softened
- 3 1/2 cups confectioner’s sugar
- 1 tsp. milk
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp. salt
- eggs and additional butter (amount depend on which mix you choose)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray mini bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Prepare boxed cake mix according to the instructions on the back of the package. Combine eggs, water, butter, and mix in a large stand mixer- beat on medium speed until well blended.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until cakes are golden. If unsure, use a wooden toothpick to test the centers.
- Make frosting by combining butter, sugar, and salt. Beat till blended. Add the milk and vanilla while beating for an additional 3 to 5 minutes or until smooth and creamy. If buttercream is too thick, add a small amount of milk until desired consistency is achieved. Transfer buttercream to a piping bag with a medium-sized open star tip attached. Decorate each bundt cake with swirl of frosting, spring themed sprinkles, and a PEEPS® marshmallow bunny.
