We have a few runner ducks, and every so often the duck-egg situation can get a bit out of control - and there's only so many omelettes a person can eat.
So not long ago, I asked three of the Cottontails Baby bunnies for a bit of help in using up a surplus of eggs - and together we came across the Alice Waters Chocolate Cake recipe. Not only is it a chocolate cake - never a bad thing - but it calls for no less than EIGHT EGGS!
Here are a few photos from our happy baking session...
 |
| The bunnies love this book - full of vegetarian delights |
 |
| Mini Maileg bunny finds the recipe - which calls for EIGHT EGGS! |
 |
| Sylvain rabbit is already hungry |
 |
| The bunnies count the EIGHT EGGS! |
 |
| Sylvain assembles the butter and chocolate... |
 |
| ....and begins to melt them (mind your paws on the hot stove, Sylvain!) |
 |
| Mmmm... melted chocolate! |
 |
| Quite a big job to whisk eight egg whites but Sylvain has powerful paws |
|
|
|
 |
| And the cake is ready to bake |
 |
| 45 minutes later and it's cooked and cooling in it's tin |
 |
| Maileg Mellow bunny (who frankly hasn't been much use) can't wait to tuck in |
 |
| Yum yum - the bunnies sit down for a cup of tea and slice of chocolate cake! | |

Find these three bunnies, along with many more, in the
All Our Rabbit Things department at Cottontails Baby - please note Sylvain's blue jumper is the 'model's own'. And find the wonderful cookery book in all the usual places, or on the author's / chef's own website for
Bill's Cafe
