My mum has a rabbit mould (well, actually an easter bunny mould) and we used to make a bunny at easter, usually as a marble cake. These 3D forms are, though, usually rather small and I'm normally baking cakes that are... large. However, circumstances have aligned and it was time to try out a new chocolate cake recipe, and that in turn was sort of the instigator to also try out the mould.
As the instructions demand, I did butter it carefully, and it came out nicely when it had cooled:

Still in the second half of the mould...[caption id="attachment_3602" align="alignnone" width="482"]
It's out!And because everything chocolatey is better with even more chocolate, I decided to coat it with choc. When finished, it looked like this:
The eyes are slices of cashew nuts, and the antlers have a lighter colour because I mixed a spoonful of peanut butter into the hot chocolate. Which is, by the way, utterly delicious.
Now we'll see how it tastes, and then I will decide if that recipe stays or goes...
