15 Ugly Christmas Sweater Cake Recipe Ignite Your Passion For Cooking!

Ingredients for the cake:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup buttermilk
• Red and green gel food coloring

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven and prepare the cake batter

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, one at a time, and beat well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. Gradually add in the dry ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk until the batter is smooth and well combined.

2. Add the festive colors

Divide the batter into two equal parts and add a few drops of red food coloring to one half and green food coloring to the other half. Stir until the colors are well incorporated.

3. Bake the cake

Pour the red batter into one half of the prepared cake pan and the green batter into the other half. Use a toothpick or knife to gently swirl the colors together, creating a marbled effect. Bake the cake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before moving on to the next step.

4. Cut out the sweater shape

Using a sharp knife, cut the cake into a sweater shape. You can use a template or freehand it – either way, remember to leave some space at the top for the collar and sleeves. You can also use the leftover pieces to create the sleeves and collar, just make sure to cut them into the appropriate shapes.

5. Decorate your ugly Christmas sweater cake

Now comes the fun part – decorating! Use candy canes, gumdrops, chocolate chips, and whatever other festive candies you have on hand to create a fun and colorful design on your cake. Get creative and make it as ugly as you want – the more unconventional, the better!
