Preparation Steps
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour a large cake pan.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
3
In another bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
4
Stir in the vanilla extract and milk, then gradually mix in the dry ingredients until a smooth batter forms.
5
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.
6
For the frosting, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form.
7
Carve the cake into your desired animal shape (e.g., cat, bear, or bunny), and frost it with the whipped cream.
8
Cover the cake with fondant and smooth it out. Use different colors to create the animal's details (e.g., eyes, ears, nose).
9
Decorate the cake with chocolate shavings and other fondant elements to make it even more lifelike.
10
Refrigerate the cake for at least one hour to allow the decorations to set, then slice and serve.
