Golden Bunny Easter Cake (Orange & Curcumin Flavored)

🧁 Ingredients:

🥮 For the Cake:

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

• 1 tsp baking powder

• ½ tsp baking soda

• ¼ tsp salt

• 1 tsp curcumin powder (Organic Labs)

• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened

• ¾ cup granulated sugar

• 2 large eggs

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• ½ cup fresh orange juice

• Zest of 1 orange

• ⅓ cup Greek yogurt or sour cream

🍊 For the Golden Glaze:

• 1 cup powdered sugar

• 2 tbsp orange juice

• ¼ tsp curcumin powder

• Orange zest or a drop of vanilla extract (optional)

👩🍳 Instructions:

1. Prep the Scene

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

• Grease your bunny-shaped cake pan 🐰 or any loaf/tin you like.

• Lightly dust with flour to prevent sticking.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

• In a medium bowl: whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and curcumin powder.

• Set aside the beautiful golden blend.

3. Cream Butter & Sugar

• In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until pale and fluffy (about 2–3 mins).

• Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each.

• Stir in vanilla and orange zest.

4. Combine Wet + Dry

• Add the flour mix to the wet mix in 2 batches, alternating with orange juice and yogurt.

• Mix until smooth but don’t overmix.

5. Bake

• Pour batter into the prepared bunny pan.

• Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

• Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

🍯 Glazing Time

1. Mix powdered sugar, orange juice, and curcumin powder until smooth.

2. Pour over the cooled cake — let it drip for that rustic, Insta-drip look.

3. Optional: Add a “tail” using a mini frosted doughnut hole or marshmallow dusted in curcumin.
