Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, water, and vanilla extract. Mix together until well combined and pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
Bake the cake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before frosting.
In a separate mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, while continuing to beat the mixture. Add in the vanilla extract and heavy cream, and beat until the frosting is light and fluffy.
Divide the frosting into smaller bowls and add food coloring to create different colors. You can use as many or as few colors as you'd like!
Once the cake has cooled, carefully remove it from the pan and place it on a serving plate or cake stand.
Using a knife or offset spatula, frost the top and sides of the cake with the different colored frosting, creating a clown-like appearance. You can also use additional frosting to pipe on details such as a smile, eyes, and a nose.
For an extra festive touch, you can top the cake with sprinkles or Halloween-themed candies.
Once the cake is decorated, it's ready to be served and enjoyed by all! Cut into slices and watch as your guests are delighted by the colorful and fun clown cake.
Now that you know how to make this delicious Halloween clown cake, it's time to get creative and have fun with it! You can change up the colors and decorations to fit your own personal style and make it your own. Happy Halloween!
