Time 1h20m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 ¾ cups white sugar
3 eggs
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons milk
30 large marshmallows, cut in half lengthwise
1 cup pink sugar sprinkles
30 candy-coated milk chocolate pieces (such as M&M's®)
1 (1.5 ounce) tube black decorating gel

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 30 individual muffin cups or line cups with paper liners.
  • Beat 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons butter and white sugar in a large bowl with an electric blender until creamy. Add eggs one at a time and beat well after each addition. Beat in lemon zest and vanilla extract.
  • Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Add to butter mixture alternately with sour cream and mix well into a thick batter. Spoon 1/4 cup of batter into each muffin cup.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in the tins for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool, about 20 minutes.
  • Prepare the frosting while cupcakes are cooling. Cream together 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons butter and vanilla extract with an electric blender. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar, 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Beat in milk and continue beating until frosting is light and fluffy.
  • Spread out marshmallow halves on a clean surface, cut-side down. Spread a little bit of frosting in the center of each marshmallow half. Sprinkle with pink decorating sugar to make the bunny ears.
  • Spread an even layer of frosting over each cooled cupcake. Place 2 of the prepared marshmallow halves on each cupcake for the ears. Place a chocolate piece in the middle of each cupcake for the nose and draw eyes and whiskers with black decorating gel.

Time 2h

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 cups white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 ⅓ cups buttermilk
½ cup vegetable shortening
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
⅛ teaspoon salt
4 egg whites
2 (16 ounce) packages vanilla frosting, divided
sweetened flake coconut, or as needed
1 drop red food coloring, or as needed
12 whole graham cracker squares (4 cookies each)
48 miniature semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 24 cupcake cups with paper liners.
  • Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda together in a bowl. Beat buttermilk, vegetable shortening, vanilla extract, and salt into dry ingredients until thoroughly combined; beat egg whites into batter. Pour batter into prepared cupcake cups, filing them 2/3 full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cupcakes are lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Let cool.
  • Divide a container of frosting in half and tint half pink with red food coloring; set remaining vanilla frosting aside. Use second frosting container to frost cupcakes. Cover cupcakes with coconut.
  • Break graham crackers into individual cookies and cut each cookie carefully into a leaf shape pointed at both ends to make 48 ears. Cover each ear with remaining white frosting and frost the inside of each ear shape with pink frosting. Stick 2 ears into each cupcake. Push 2 mini chocolate chips into tops of cupcakes below ears to make eyes; add a dot of pink frosting to each for a nose.

Tips:

  • To make the cupcakes extra moist, use buttermilk instead of regular milk. Buttermilk reacts with the baking soda to create a light and fluffy texture.
  • For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar. Brown sugar has a slightly caramelized taste that will add depth to the cupcakes.
  • To make the cupcakes extra festive, add some sprinkles or edible glitter to the frosting.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off to pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes.
  • Be sure to chill the cupcakes for at least 30 minutes before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.

Conclusion:

These sweet bunny cupcakes are the perfect treat for any occasion. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With their adorable bunny faces and fluffy tails, these cupcakes are sure to be a hit with kids and adults alike. So next time you're looking for a fun and festive dessert, give these sweet bunny cupcakes a try!
