Instructions
For the mini Bundt cakes
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 6-cavity mini Bundt pan with a generous amount of vegetable shortening. Dust with gluten free flour.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, soda and salt. Add the oil, coconut milk, water, eggs and vanilla. Stir until completely combined and batter is smooth.
Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in cake comes out clean. Remove from oven and let the cakes cool completely. Invert pan onto wire rack.
For the chocolate ganache
Place the chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir. Add ½ cup coconut milk. Microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir until smooth. Let cool for 30-45 minutes. Pour into a disposable pastry bag and tie ends. Cut a small corner and drizzle onto cooled cakes. Let set while you make the buttercream.
For the green buttercream frosting & decorating the cakes
Beat the butter with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, vanilla, milk and salt. Once combined, turn mixer up to medium and beat until smooth. Add green food coloring gel and stir to combine. Pour into a pastry bag fitted with a #233 tip. Pipe grass onto Bundt cakes. Add one bunny PEEP to each cake. Serve immediately.

Notes
Note about the canned coconut milk: When you open the can, it will be thick at the top and liquid on the bottom. I usually scoop it all out into a bowl and whisk it all together well, then you have a nice and creamy milk to work with.Storage Instructions: Store your Easter Bunny Bundt cakes covered, at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge up to a week. If you're going to store them in the fridge, do not add the marshmallow bunnies until you are ready to serve them.
