Easter Bunny is an Easter egg is an Easter bunny is an Easter egg ...It's almost ...

So let the baking begin!
I decided to do it all "by hand" today. There's something so satisfying about stirring the butter and the sugar and the eggs with your own hands. Something almost primeval.

I call this "drowning the dough in red wine." :-)
From dough to cake in 15 minutes:
