19+ Halloween Pinata Cake Recipe Savor The Mouthwatering Goodness!

Ingredients:

Cake:

• 1 box of your favorite cake mix (chocolate or vanilla works best)
• 1 cup water
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 3 eggs
• Orange food coloring
• Green food coloring
• Black food coloring

Buttercream Frosting:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
• 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Orange food coloring

Fillings:

• 1 cup assorted Halloween candies (such as M&M's, Skittles, or gummy worms)
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup crushed Oreos

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease two 8-inch round cake pans.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix until well combined.
3. Divide the cake batter into three separate bowls. Add a few drops of orange food coloring to one bowl, green to another, and black to the last one. Mix until the desired color is achieved.
4. Pour each colored batter into their respective cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool completely.
5. To make the buttercream frosting, beat the softened butter in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Add in the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy. Add a few drops of orange food coloring and mix until the frosting is a bright orange color.
6. Place one cake layer on a cake stand or serving plate. Spread a layer of frosting on top of the cake.
7. Next, place the second cake layer on top of the frosting. Use a sharp knife to cut a circle in the center of the cake, about 2 inches wide. Carefully remove the circle of cake, creating a well in the center of the cake.
8. Fill the well with a mixture of assorted Halloween candies, chocolate chips, and crushed Oreos.
9. Place the circle of cake back on top to cover the fillings. Frost the entire cake with the remaining buttercream frosting, making sure to cover the hole in the center.
10. For a finishing touch, decorate the top of the cake with more Halloween candies or spooky designs using black food coloring.
11. Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will make it easier to cut and reveal the surprise filling inside.
