Rodon Chocolate Vanilla Cake with Rabbit Motif for Easter

Mix the butter in a mixing bowl (from the food processor) until smooth. Let the food processor run all the time. In the next step, add the various sugars, lemon juice and salt while stirring. As soon as a bound mass has developed, each egg is stirred at the highest level for about 45 seconds.

Mix flour with baking powder and baking soda and sieve. Alternately, the flour is added with the milk while stirring. Make sure that you only use enough milk that the batter is difficult to fall off the spoon.

Now switch on the oven and set it to 180 degrees O / U heat. Line up the baking pan with grease. Put the chocolate in a water bath to melt. Now divide the dough in half. Fill the first one in the middle of the baking pan.

First add the Nutella, cocoa, and then the melted chocolate to the remaining Rodon batter. Mix well with the mixer. Depending on the consistency, sift in the flour and if it becomes too firm afterwards, simply mix with cream to make it smoother.

Fill the dough very close to the edge of the baking pan and when it is full, nudge it a few times on the work surface so that the mass can settle in the baking pan to level out. From the preheated oven on the middle rail for 55 minutes (stick test). During this time you mix the colors for the rabbit cake 🙂 powdered sugar, food coloring and a few drops of water. The mass should be applied later with a brush - which is the easiest "child's play" with a very creamy consistency.

When the baking time is up, take the cake out of the oven and let it cool down in the tin for 15 minutes. Then you can give free rein to your creative streak if you want. My rabbit version is as you know it from me - child-friendly!

This cake is not only very fine at Easter - simply baked in a neutral or desired shape - 365 days a year a pleasure.
