Monster Eyeball Cake is a spooky and delicious dessert that is perfect for Halloween parties. This cake is a showstopper with its eerie eyeball design that will surely impress your guests. To make this cake, you will need the following ingredients:
For the cake:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
For the frosting:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Green food coloring
- Red food coloring
For the eyeballs:
- 1 package of Oreo cookies
- 1 package of M&M's
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and grease two 9-inch round cake pans. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add in the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined. Slowly pour in the boiling water and mix until the batter is smooth.
Divide the batter evenly between the two cake pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cakes cool completely before removing them from the pans.
While the cakes are cooling, make the frosting. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth. Add in a few drops of green food coloring to give the frosting a spooky hue.
Once the cakes are cooled, place one cake on a cake stand or plate and spread a layer of frosting on top. Place the second cake on top and cover the entire cake with frosting. Use a piping bag to create veins on the cake with red food coloring.
To make the eyeballs, separate the Oreo cookies and scrape off the cream filling. Place an M&M in the center of each cookie half and press them gently into the frosting on the cake.
The Monster Eyeball Cake is now ready to serve! This cake is a perfect combination of moist chocolate cake and creamy frosting, with a spooky twist. It's a great dessert to serve at Halloween parties and is sure to impress your guests.
