Create a cake version of the popular Halloween candy by frosting wedges of rich chocolate cake with orange, yellow and white buttercream frosting to resemble pieces of candy corn. It's a great recipe to make for a Halloween carnival cake walk. Ingredients:
2 cups sugar |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 cup cocoa |
1 cup vegetable oil |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 large eggs |
1 cup buttermilk |
1 cup hot water |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
buttercream frosting |
Directions:
1. Beat first 6 ingredients in a large bowl at medium speed with an electric mixer until blended. Stir in buttermilk.
2. Stir together 1 cup hot water and baking soda; stir into batter. Stir in vanilla. Pour into 2 greased and floured 9-inch round cakepans.
3. Bake at 350° for 30 to 40 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks 10 minutes; remove from pans, and cool completely on wire racks.
4. Freeze layers 30 minutes. Cut each layer into 8 wedges.
5. Pipe frosting on top and sides of cake wedges to resemble candy corn. Using a medium star tip, pipe white frosting on the small end of each cake, yellow frosting on center, and orange on wide end.
