  5. Cut the rabbits out of the dough with a cookie cutter and set aside.

  1. Wash the lime and rub the skin. Halve the lime and squeeze out the juice.

  2. Stir butter, sugar, salt, lime zest and juice until creamy. Stir in the eggs one after the other.

  3. Mix flour and baking powder and stir it into the butter-egg mmixture with the yoghurt.

  4. Place the rabbit in the center of a greased and floured, box shaped baking tin (11 x 25 cm). Carefully fill in the dough on the sides. Spread the dough over the bunnies so that you can not see it anymore.

  5. Bake the cake in preheated oven at 175° C for approximately 40 minutes. Remove and allow to cool on a wire rack for about 20 minutes. Carefully remove the cake from the tin and let it cool completely.

Finishing:
