Cream together the spread and sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat in the eggs one by one with the vanilla extract.

Beat in the flour, cocoa and baking powder.

Using a tablespoon measure, divide the mixture between the cupcake cases and bake for 12 – 15 mins until risen and firm.

Leave to cool in the tins for a few minutes, then remove and transfer to a rack and allow to cool completely.

Spoon into a piping bag fitted with a small star nozzle.

Scoop small holes out of the top of the cake, then pipe the green icing in small peaks around the hole.

Cut the bunnies in half and add one to each hole.

Sprinkle a few crumbs from the removed pieces of cake on top of the icing to make it look like the bunnies are digging their burrows!
