Recipe Description
ingredients:box of cake mix + ingredients needed to make it OR homemade cake batter recipe that can fill a 9x13 panfrostingsprinklesmaraschino cherriestools:one 8 or 9 inch round cake panone 8 or 9 inch square cake panparchment paperI cheated and went with a boxed cake mix and jarred frosting since I was feeling lazy. :P
I always like to add extra mix-ins to boxed cake mix - just makes it taste a little better!In this case I used a whole 12 oz jar or maraschino cherries. I drained them (and squeezed out as much liquid as I could) and then chopped them finely. I then rolled them in flour before adding them to the batter - just to keep them from all dropping to the bottom.
Grease your pans and line the bottoms with parchment for easy removal. Pour in the batter - try to eyeball it and divide it evenly. I baked these for about 30 minutes, and then set them on wire racks to cool.You really want the cakes to be nice and cool to the touch before frosting!
I used 1 1/2 jars of frosting and about 20 drops of red food coloring to get this pink color.
I like to trim off the very edges of the cakes - you get a more even surface that way since the edges tend to bake up thinner.Cut the round cake in half and check the fit with the square one - take off corners as necessary for a nice look!
Use a small bit of the frosting on the edges to glue the round halves and square cake together. You'll want to start by applying frosting over the seams - you might need a little more frosting here than anywhere else if there's a difference in height. Then you can frost as normal and decorate. I decided to cover mine entirely in sprinkles once my plan to write with sprinkles failed. ;)
