preparation
- Preheat the oven to 180 oC, grease the mold and dust with flour. Peel and coarsely grate the carrots.

Mix the flour, zimit and baking powder, sift in, fold in and fill the dough into the mold. Smooth the surface and bake the cake for approx. 50 minutes. After the stick test, remove and let cool in the mold for 10 minutes. Then turn out of the mold and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Roll out the marzipan between two layers of cling film to a thickness of approx. 3 mm. Peel off the foil and cut out bunnies with a cookie cutter.
- Mix the powdered sugar with the lemon juice and cover the cake with the icing. Spread the marzipan bunnies and a few sugar eggs on top and sprinkle a few grated coconut in the gaps. Let the cast dry for about 1 hour at room temperature.
