Ingredients

Scale

Vanilla Cake

  • 1 batch of Easy Vanilla Sheet Cake

Buttercream Frosting

  • 1 batch of Easy Vanilla Buttercream Frosting
  • Yellow food coloring
  • Orange food coloring

Filling

  • 1 cup of mini candy corn (180g)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cake: Bake one batch of the Easy Vanilla Sheet Cake according to the recipe instructions, ensuring the cake is fully cooled before proceeding.
  2. Divide and Color Frosting: Divide the Easy Vanilla Buttercream Frosting into two portions. Tint one portion with yellow food coloring and the other with orange food coloring to replicate candy corn colors.
  3. Assemble the Cake Layers: Carefully level the cooled vanilla sheet cake and cut it horizontally into layers. Create a hollow or well in the center of one or more layers, large enough to hold the mini candy corn filling.
  4. Fill the Cake: Place the first cake layer on your serving plate, spread a layer of buttercream around the edges, and pour the cup of mini candy corn into the hollow center. Then, cover the candy corn with the next cake layer to enclose the candy filling completely.
  5. Frost the Cake: Use the yellow and orange tinted buttercream frosting to frost the outside of the cake, mimicking the bright colors of candy corn in a striped or blended pattern for an eye-catching Halloween look.
  6. Chill and Set: Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes to allow the frosting to set and the cake to firm up before slicing and serving.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the cake to reveal the hidden candy corn surprise inside, delighting guests with the colorful and sweet Halloween treat.

Notes

  • Inside that luscious vanilla buttercream and layers of moist vanilla cake, there’s a candy corn surprise just waiting to burst out and bring your Halloween party to life!
  • Use mini candy corn to ensure an even distribution inside the cake without causing structural issues.
  • Be sure to cool the cake completely before cutting and assembling to prevent the frosting from melting or the candy from migrating.
  • Consider piping the frosting decoratively for an extra festive presentation.
  • This cake pairs well with a glass of milk or hot cocoa for a cozy Halloween treat.
