Easter Marbled Bunny Cake with Brown Butter and Strawberries

Step-by-step method

Let’s cook

At a glance

First we make the brown butter and roast the strawberries into a purée – it takes a bit of time, but it gives the dessert its exceptional flavor and moist texture. Next we whip up the base batter, split it into vanilla and strawberry portions, create a marbled effect in the bunny mold, and bake. Finally, we temper the ruby chocolate briefly so the bunny gets a beautiful shine and a satisfying snap.

  1. 1/9

    Making the nutty brown butter

    Place the butter in a saucepan. Let it sizzle and foam over medium heat. As soon as you catch that hazelnut-like aroma and see brown flecks forming on the bottom, pour it straight into a bowl. Chill it in the fridge until it firms up to a slightly softened consistency (about 1 hour).

    Making a smooth strawberry purée

    Roast the frozen strawberries with sugar at 200 °C (top and bottom heat) for about 30 minutes. Blend them smooth in a bowl, then pass through a fine sieve so no seeds end up in the batter. Let the purée cool completely before using it.

    Prepping the mold thoroughly

    Take a knob of butter and use a pastry brush to carefully coat every little crevice of the bunny mold. Then dust the mold evenly with flour and tap out the excess. This is the only way to guarantee the bunny will unmold cleanly, ears and all.

About this recipe

Picture the tantalizing aroma of nutty brown butter mingling with the fresh, concentrated flavor of roasted strawberries – a dessert your guests will be asking for the recipe before they've even taken their first bite. The secret to its success lies in two things. Brown butter (beurre noisette) gives the batter a depth of flavor you'll never get from plain butter. Roasting the strawberries drives off their excess water and leaves behind pure, intense fruit flavor, which keeps the cake moist for days. And ruby chocolate adds a delicate fruity sweetness that ties the whole dessert together beautifully.
