Preheat oven to 356 °F.
For the buttermilk: In a bowl, mix milk and lime juice and let rest for 10 minutes.
For the sponge cake: In a bowl, mix butter and sugar until incorporated. Add eggs one by one, egg whites, and vanilla essence.
Little by little, add flour, baking powder, salt, and buttermilk and mix until a homogenous batter is obtained.
Pour one ladle of batter into 4 bowls. Stain each bowl with a different color of gel food coloring. Set leftover batter aside.
Pour each colorful batter into a small pan and bake for 25 minutes. Let cool and unmold.
Crumble colorful sponge cakes and mix with cream cheese. Make small cake balls with your hands. Set aside.
Pour ¼ of the plain batter into a 9-inch round cake pan. Arrange colorful cake balls and pour ¼ more of plain batter to cover the cake balls completely. Repeat in another cake pan.
Bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool and unmold.
For the chocolate frosting: In a bowl, mix cream cheese and butter. Using a sieve, add icing sugar and cocoa powder.
Place a cake as the base. Place a bit of frosting on top. Top with the second cake and frost with leftover chocolate frosting.
Arrange chocolate bunnies around the cake. Arrange colorful chocolate eggs on top of the cake. Garnish chocolate Easter Bunny cake with a ribbon.
Cut Easter Bunny cake and pair it with a glass of cold milk.
