Beat the sugar and eggs until creamy.

Mix the flour, baking powder, and spices well together.

Pour the water and oil together in a measuring cup.

Add the dry ingredients and the water mixture alternately to the egg mixture and mix in between.

Add the chocolate chips along with the last bit of flour.

Divide the batter between your two prepared baking pans.

Bake at 160˚C for ±40 minutes or until a knife comes out clean when you test the batter. *Baking at 160˚C will ensure that the top of the cake is even.

Let the cake cool.

While the cake cools, prepare the ganache.

Melt your chocolate in the microwave in 30 second intervals. Mix after each interval. Do this until the chocolate is smooth and has no solid pieces in it. *It is important to mix after every 30 seconds, otherwise the chocolate will burn.

Add a little cream, as well as the Speckled Eggs and mix well.

Make a border on the first cake layer so that the ganache does not run out.

Add the ganache and smooth it out.

Place the next cake layer on top and decorate with the rest of the butter icing sugar.

Decorate the cake with bunny ears or however you like.

*The bunny ears are made with florist wire and thyme sprigs, rosemary can also be used.
