Method

Pre-heat oven to 160°C fan-forced. Line the base and sides of 2 x 15cm cake tins.
Place Tararua Butter and Chelsea Caster Sugar into the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat until pale creamy. Add eggs one at a time until well incorporated. Add rind, mixing well.
Add Edmonds Self Raising Flour, coconut and Meadow Fresh Original Milk alternately until well combined and batter is smooth.
Pour batter between prepared tins and bake for 40 mins, or until an inserted skewer comes out clean. Cool in tin for 10 mins before removing to a cooling rack.
For icing, place Tararua Butter in a large mixing bowl. Beat with electric beaters until soft and creamy. Gradually add Chelsea Vanilla Flavoured Icing Sugar and juice until mix is smooth.
Place melted white chocolate into a small piping bag with a fine tipped nozzle. Pipe chocolate onto baking paper lined tray in the outlines of two ears. Sprinkle with a little of the coconut and allow to set completely. Refrigerate if a hot day.
For assembly, place one cake onto serving plate, spoon a little icing on top and spread out. Top with second cake and use remaining icing to cover the two cakes. Sprinkle with shredded coconut. Gently press the ears into the top of the cake and use liquorice and marshmallow for facial features.
