SURPRISE-INSIDE EASTER CANDY LAYER CAKE



Surprise-Inside Easter Candy Layer Cake image

When only over-the-top will do, this is the cake for you! A springtime festival of color on a pretty platter, this is the ultimate "wow" cake to bring out at your Easter party or any occasion that calls for a second-to-none impressive dessert. The base of the cake is your shortcut step, using Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ Yellow Cake Mix, and from there, decorating with panache is the name of the game. The surprise-inside effect is easy to achieve by following the steps outlined in this recipe. Fill the center of the cake with candies and pastel-colored sprinkle mix for a colorful surprise that spills out of the cake when it's cut open. Ombre frosting is made more achievable with Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy Vanilla Frosting tinted with pastel gel food colors that deliver the exact shades you need without extra testing and fuss. The top of the cake is its crowning glory, with a ring of pink frosting dollops and wall-to-wall sprinkles.

Time 5h

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 boxes Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ Yellow Cake Mix
Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix boxes
1 cup pastel-colored candy-coated milk chocolate candies (from 10-oz bag)
1/2 cup pastel-colored candy-coated chocolate mini eggs (from 10-oz bag)
1/2 cup pastel baking chips (from 10-oz bag)
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons pastel-colored sprinkle mix
4 1/2 cups Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy Vanilla Frosting (from three 16-oz containers)
2 1/2 teaspoons pastel pink gel food color
1/2 teaspoon pastel yellow gel food color
1/4 teaspoon pastel green gel food color

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Spray bottoms and sides of two 8-inch round cake pans with cooking spray.
  • In large bowl, beat 1 box cake mix and ingredients called for on box with electric mixer on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Divide evenly between pans.
  • Bake 28 to 33 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, repeat mixing and baking with second box of cake mix to make 2 more layers.
  • Flatten cake layers by trimming off round tops. In 2 layers, cut small round out of center, using 4-inch round cutter. In small bowl, mix chocolate candies, mini eggs, baking chips and 1/2 cup of the sprinkles; set aside.
  • To assemble cake: Place 1 uncut cake layer on serving plate; spread 1/3 cup frosting on top. Top with 1 layer with center removed; spread 1/3 cup frosting on top. Top with second layer with center removed; spread 1/3 cup frosting on top.
  • Fill cake with candies and sprinkles mixture. Gently press candies to level; top with full cake layer. Frost top and side of cake with 1 1/2 cups frosting. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • In medium bowl, place 1 1/2 cups of the frosting; stir in pink food color until blended. Fit decorating bag with 1/2-inch round piping tip; fill with 3/4 cup pink frosting. Set decorating bag and pink frosting aside. In 1 small bowl, place 1/4 cup of the frosting; stir in yellow food color until blended. In another small bowl, place 1/4 cup frosting, stir in green food color until blended.
  • Using photo as a guide, spread 1/2 cup of the pink frosting on top of cake, reserving remaining pink frosting for top third of cake. Starting on side, spread yellow frosting on bottom third of cake. In middle third of cake, spread green frosting so green frosting overlaps yellow frosting. On upper third of cake, spread remaining pink frosting so pink frosting overlaps green frosting.
  • To blend colors together on side of cake: Using an icing spatula, starting at bottom edge of cake, lightly blend and barely smooth colors in an upward motion toward top edge of cake; wipe spatula clean with paper towel. Repeat blending of frosting and wiping off spatula. Smooth top if needed. Pipe frosting mounds around top edge of cake. Sprinkle remaining 3 tablespoons candy sprinkles in center.
  • Store loosely covered at room temperature.

9 EASTER EGG CANDY RECIPES - THE SPRUCE EATS
9-easter-egg-candy-recipes-the-spruce-eats image

From thespruceeats.com
  • Creme Eggs. Creme Eggs are just like your favorite store-bought Easter eggs! These creamy white fondant candies have a surprise inside their chocolate-dipped shell: a beautiful yellow "yolk."
  • Solid Chocolate Easter Eggs. Solid Chocolate Easter Eggs are beautiful edible gifts that can be made without any special equipment. Eggshells are hollowed out and used as candy molds to produce these easy, delicious Easter candies.
  • Hollow Chocolate Easter Egg. Here's your chance to learn how to make your own gorgeous hollow chocolate egg! Fill these edible eggs with candies, toys, love notes, or anything else you can think of!
  • Chocolate-Peanut Butter Easter Eggs. Chocolate and peanut butter are a natural flavor combination that shines in this festive recipe. Cream cheese adds a subtle tang and helps keep the eggs from becoming cloyingly sweet.
  • Easter Egg Cake Pops. Make your Easter sweeter with these Easter Egg Cake Pops! Moist bites of cake and frosting are formed into egg shapes, made into lollipops, and decorated to look like festive Easter eggs.
  • Deep Fried Easter Creme Eggs. Deep Fried Easter Crème Eggs are a deadly--and delicious--Easter treat! The popular chocolate-coated eggs with the liquid creme filling are dipped in a quick batter, then deep-fried to golden perfection.
  • Fondant Easter Eggs. Unlike the creme eggs above, these chocolate-covered Fondant Eggs don't liquefy, and the recipe is a bit easier to throw together, so they're perfect for when you're pressed for time, or making candy with young helpers.
  • Coconut Easter Eggs. Shredded coconut is paired with tangy cream cheese in these easy, delicious Coconut Easter Eggs. To prevent these eggs from becoming too sweet, I recommend using unsweetened coconut and adding a generous pinch of salt.
  • Panoramic Sugar Easter Eggs. Sugar eggs are a fun Easter craft activity, and the resulting product is a gorgeous keepsake that can be saved and displayed for many years.
