Giant Cup Cake Recipes

MAKE A FUN AND TASTY GIANT CUPCAKE CAKE

Steps:

• Pick a heavy, dense cake mix that will help your cake keep its shape and support the top part after assembly.
• Use pan spray, butter or shortening and flour to prep your pan, making sure you get every nook and cranny. You'll need 6 cups total of batter: 2½ cups for the top part of the cupcake and 3½ cups for the bottom. It might look like there's room for more, but resist filling them to the top- you want some room left for the batter to rise.
• Bake at 325 °F for approximately 1 hour. Check it halfway through at 30 minutes. If the top "swirl" part of your giant cupcake seems to be baking faster than the bottom, break out your foil and an oven mitt (safety first!) and make a little tent over it with foil to slow it down. Once it's done, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before you unmold it, then pop it on a cooling grid until it's completely cooled.
• Now that your cake is completely cooled, pop out the bottom section onto a cake board or cake platter of your choice, level it with a serrated knife and spread frosting on it so that the top sticks to it.
• Add as many fun toppings like sprinkles or berries as you'd like and enjoy!

GIANT PEANUT BUTTER CUP CAKE

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Prepare the cake batter according to the package instructions. Pour into the bottom of a jumbo silicone cupcake mold and bake until a tester comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let cool completely, then unmold the cake onto a cooling rack set in a baking sheet.
• For the filling: Meanwhile, beat together the peanut butter and butter with an electric mixer until completely combined. Slowly add in the confectioners' sugar about a 1/4 cup at a time, beating in between additions, until completely incorporated. Beat in the salt. Set aside until ready to use.
• Cut off the domed top of the cake if one has formed, and save for another use (or eat!). Cut the cake horizontally into 3 layers and put them on a work surface Use a paring knife to cut out a 3 1/2-inch hole from the middle layer; set the cake layer aside (save the cutout for another use).
• Stack the bottom and middle cake layers on the prepared cooling rack. Fill the hole in the center with the peanut butter filling. Place the last cake layer on top. Invert the cake onto a plate and chill in the freezer for 10 minutes.
• Pour some of the hardening chocolate sauce over the top of the cake and use a rubber spatula to gently smooth and level it. Using a silicone brush, apply more of the chocolate sauce on the sides of the cake. Chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes, then invert the cake onto a serving platter. Spread the remaining chocolate sauce on top of the cake in an even layer and chill in the refrigerator until set.
• Cut the cake into slices, exposing the peanut butter center.

GIANT CUPCAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). If using a metal giant cupcake pan, thoroughly grease all sides and dust with flour, tapping to remove any excess. If using a silicone cake pan, there is no need to grease.
• Combine sugar and butter in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add in flour alternately with beaten eggs, a little at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract. Divide the mixture between the top and bottom giant cupcake pans.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Cool in the pan, then turn out to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cool, frost and decorate as desired with your favorite frosting.

GIANT CUP-CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and lightly flour four 8-inch cake pans and one 9-inch tempered glass mixing bowl.
• Prepare the vanilla cupcake or cake mix batter. Mix the crushed sandwich cookies into the batter.
• Fill a 9-inch tempered glass mixing bowl halfway with batter. Divide the remaining batter among the cake pans, filling them about halfway up the sides. Bake the cake layers for 35 to 40 minutes and the cake "dome" in the mixing bowl for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a cake tester or toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove and let cool completely.
• Use a serrated knife to level the tops of the cake layers and the flat side of the cake dome (the dome will be inverted so that the rounded side forms the top of the cake). Measure an 8-inch cardboard cake round against the bottom of the dome and trim the round as needed so the cake sits just inside the cardboard.
• Stack the cake layers, spreading about 1/2 cup of the milk chocolate buttercream between each layer. Set the stacked cake on an untrimmed 8-inch cardboard cake round. Spread a small amount of milk chocolate buttercream on the top cake layer and top with the trimmed cardboard cake round, pressing down gently to adhere. Add a dab of milk chocolate buttercream on top of the cake round and invert the domed cake, trimmed-side down, onto it. Using the serrated knife, trim the stacked cake layers below the dome at an angle to come to a slightly narrower bottom (this should look like the tapered sides of a cupcake). Spread milk chocolate buttercream evenly around the sides of the trimmed cake where the "cupcake wrapper" would be. Frost the top of the cake with Champagne buttercream, making a swirled and wavy pattern.
• Cut the Pirouette cookies to the height of the "cupcake wrapper" and place next to each other around the outside of the cake. Sprinkle with multicolored sprinkles, top with a maraschino and serve!
• Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl.
• In another medium bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with an electric mixer until light and foamy, about 2 minutes. While beating, gradually pour in the melted butter and then the vanilla.
• While mixing slowly, add half of the flour mixture. Then add all the milk, followed by the remaining flour mixture; take care not to overmix the batter.
• Cream the butter in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large bowl if using a handheld electric mixer). On low speed, beat in the powdered sugar and then the salt. Add the vanilla, increase the speed to medium-high and beat until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 tablespoons milk; adjust the consistency with extra milk as desired.
• Melt the chocolate, then fold it into the buttercream. Use immediately, or refrigerate in an airtight container up to 3 days. Allow to come to room temperature and beat on medium-high until smooth.
