Surprise Inside Easter Bundt Cakes (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ For the Cakes
01 -
1 box white cake mix (or homemade), prepared as directed
02 -
Mixed Easter candy (M&Ms, jelly beans, mini eggs, etc.)
→ For the Glaze
03 -
2 cups confectioners sugar
04 -
2 tablespoons milk + more as needed
05 -
1 teaspoon lemon juice
06 -
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 -
Gel food coloring (pastel colors for Easter)
# Instructions:
01 -
Butter and flour a mini bundt cake pan and set aside. The recipe is designed for a pan that makes 6 medium-sized bundt cakes.
02 -
Prepare the cake mix according to package directions (or use your favorite homemade white cake recipe). Pour the batter into the prepared bundt cake pan and bake as directed on the package or in your recipe.
03 -
Allow the cakes to cool completely. Once cooled, slice off a very small amount from the bottom of each cake (as little as possible) so they can stand upright without wobbling.
04 -
In a bowl, mix the confectioners sugar, milk, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth. The glaze should be thick but pourable. If it's too thick, add a little more milk; if too thin, add more powdered sugar. Divide the glaze into small bowls and tint each with gel food coloring to create different pastel colors.
05 -
Fill the center hole of each bundt cake with Easter candy. Pack in as much as possible for a more dramatic surprise effect when cut into.
06 -
Pour the colored glaze over the tops of the bundt cakes, being careful not to get too much glaze in the center hole as it will prevent the candy from pouring out when served. Top with additional Easter candy for decoration.
