Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC). Line muffin tins with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, combine sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract; beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  4. Stir in boiling water (batter will be thin) until well combined.
  5. Fill cupcake liners 2/3 full and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Let cupcakes cool completely on wire racks before frosting.
  7. For frosting, beat softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth and creamy.
  8. Frost the cooled cupcakes with a thick layer of vanilla frosting.
  9. For "Bunnies": Press two pieces of coconut onto the top for ears. Use chocolate chips or candy melts for eyes and nose.
