How to Make a Keto Easter Bunny Cake
We will give you step by step instructions on How to Make a Keto Easter Bunny Cake and you are gonna love it!
If you are having a hard time making your Easter celebration fun and sugar free, you will love this keto friendly white cake recipe! I’ve used this recipe for many different holidays and celebrations. We’ve made this recipe a coconut flavor because of the unsweetened coconut we use on the outside of the cake but honestly, you can make it any flavor you want when you change up the extracts used in this keto cake recipe. This keto base cake recipe is very versatile and tastes absolutely fantastic.
This sugar free cake recipe makes two Keto Easter Bunny Cakes that are mini size! You can make one big cake using a regular 8 or 9 inch cake pan but you would need to double the recipe. The cake ingredients below make two bunny cakes but they are mini sized. We used a 3 inch cake pan and a 4 inch cake pan. Either size works perfectly!
This is a fun way to get the kids involved in the baking process too. You can help them bake the cake and cut out the pieces and they can decorate it any way they like!
Because we really wanted to keep this cake sugar free, we used sugar free chocolate chips and construction paper for the whiskers. Just be sure to remove the paper whiskers before consuming the cake. We also used paper ears and a paper nose on the second Easter Bunny Cake too!

1/2 cup almond flour
1 tsp xanthan gum
1/2 tsp salt

2 scoops collagen peptides (about 2 tablespoons depending on the brand you use)
Frosting
1 cup heavy whipping cream
4 oz cream cheese

Notes:
You can substitute the coconut milk for almond milk if needed. Or you an use any nut milk you choose. Just make sure it’s sugar free or unsweetened.
The collagen peptides in this recipe is really important. It’s adds a level of moisture to the cake that you won’t ever get while using nut flours. It binds really nicely too. I’ve tried many different collagen peptides and all the brands that I’ve tried work the same. I wouldn’t leave this ingredient out.
How to Assemble the Keto Easter Bunny Cakes
Flat Keto Easter Bunny Cake with Ears
(made with 2 separate 3 inch cakes)
1. Allow the cakes to fully cool before cutting out the patterns.
2. Grab a cup or a mason jar lid (as shown in the process photos) and trace a half circle out of the sides of one of the cakes. This will create the ears and the bow tie for the Easter Bunny Cake.
3. Place the cake on a decorative sheet and assembly it as shown in the photos.
4. Frost the cooled cake. You can choose to frost the whole cake or just the top part. It’s totally up to you. We only frosted the top part of the cake.
5. Add the sugar free chocolate chips for the eyes, ears and bow tie.
6. Cut out very thin strips of pink paper to use as the whiskers. You can also find sugar free red vines to use as whiskers too.
Note: Remove the paper whiskers before you consume the cake.
3D Keto Easter Bunny Cake
(made with one round circle cake only)
The 3d version of the Keto Easter Bunny Cake might be a bit easter to assemble if the kids are helping.
1. Allow the cake to fully cool before starting.
2. Slice the cake in half.
3. Frost one side of the cake.
4. Stand half of the cake upwards with the flat part on the bottom.
5. Stand the second half of the cake next to the frosted part of the first cake to get it to stand on it’s own as seen in the photos.
6. Frost the remaining parts of the cake fully.
7. Place the sugar free chocolate chip eyes on the front bottom part of the circle cake.
8. Drizzle the cake with sugar free coconut flakes.
9. Use a small butter knife and cut a 1/2 inch opening at the top of the cake for the bunny ears.
10. Use a sheet of pink construction paper to cut out the bunny ears as show in the photo below.
11. Fold the bunny ears as shown and place the folded part inside the slit of the cake. It holds nice and secure.
12. Remove the bunny ears before consuming the cake.
Note: If you choose to do this assembly instructions instead of the other one, this recipe will make 4 mini bunny cakes!
