Snowy Christmas Tree Cake
A festive cake with vibrant green layers and snowy white frosting, perfect for holiday celebrations.
Ingredients
- 1 box white cake mix
- 1 tsp green gel food coloring
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 Tbsp melted butter
- 3/4 tsp almond extract
- 1 Tbsp milk (or as needed)
- as needed gold and silver sugar pearls for decorating
- as needed powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven according to package instructions (usually around 325°F or 163°C).
- Prepare the cake batter as per the package instructions, mixing until smooth. Reserve 1/2 cup of the plain batter in a separate bowl.
- Add green gel food coloring to the remaining batter and mix until the color is evenly distributed.
- Brush your baking pan with pan release or spray with baking spray. Pour the green batter into the pan and tap to release air bubbles.
- Pour the reserved white batter over the green layer and spread it to the edges. Bake according to package instructions.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar, melted butter, almond extract, and milk until you achieve a slightly runny consistency.
- Once the cake is cooled, pour the glaze over the top, allowing it to drip slightly down the sides. Use a pastry brush to spread it evenly.
- Sprinkle gold and silver sugar pearls over the top and sides, then dust with powdered sugar for a snowy effect.
