Easter Egg Cake Wboxed Angel Food Mix Recipes

EASTER CAKE WITH A SURPRISE INSIDE (BOXED MIX HACK)

Steps:

• Prepare the cake mix to make 8-inch or 9-inch layer cakes (2 per mix). Follow directions to remove from pans and fully cool (especially if gluten-free). Note: cake layers may be wrapped in plastic wrap and chilled before proceeding for easier cutting and frosting._
• Cut a 3 ½ inch hole in the center of one layer of the cake (I used the rim of a large glass as a guide).
• Place the layer with a hole on top of a second layer aligning the sides to have the layers directly underneath each other. Cut a hole in the second cake.
• Place an uncut layer of cake on a serving plate or cake cardboard.
• Spread a layer of frosting on the bottom side of one of the cut layers of cake and place it on top of the bottom layer.
• Repeat with the second cut layer, aligning it so the holes are directly above each other.
• Fill the hole with the assorted Easter candy.
• Spread a layer of frosting on top of the third layer and place the last layer on top.
• Frost the outside of the cake and decorate the top. Chill fully for the best slicing.
• Note: To place a large chocolate bunny on the top of the cake as shown in the photos, I inserted toothpicks into the bottom of the bunny to stablize it on top of the cake:
