First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees and prepare your cake mix according to the instructions on the box. Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch round cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before moving on to the next step.
Once the cake is cool, remove it from the pan and place it on a serving platter. Take your can of vanilla frosting and divide it into two separate bowls. In one bowl, add a few drops of red food coloring and mix until you have a vibrant red color. In the other bowl, add a few drops of blue food coloring and mix until you have a deep blue color.
Next, use a serrated knife to carefully cut the cake in half horizontally. Spread the blue frosting on the bottom half of the cake and then place the top half back on, making sure the two halves line up. This will create a unique layered effect when you cut into the cake.
Now it's time for the fun part – decorating! Use the red frosting to create a ring around the edge of the cake, leaving a small space in the center. Place the gummy eyeballs in the center, pressing them gently into the frosting. You can use as many or as few eyeballs as you'd like, depending on how spooky you want your cake to look.
Once the cake is decorated, place it in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to allow the frosting to set. This will make it easier to cut into the cake without the layers separating.
When you're ready to serve, cut into the cake and watch your guests' eyes widen in delight! This Halloween eyeball cake is not only visually impressive, but it also tastes delicious. So why not give it a try and add a little spookiness to your Halloween celebration?
With just a few simple ingredients and some creativity, you can create a show-stopping dessert that will impress everyone. So go ahead and make this Halloween one to remember with this delicious and easy-to-make Halloween eyeball cake. Happy Halloween!
