New Year Countdown Cake
Equipment
- Oven
- Cupcake baking cups
- 9-inch baking pan
- Toothpick
- Cardboard
Ingredients
- 8 eggs
- 14 oz sugar
- 13.5 fl oz oil
- 7 fl oz milk
- 7 fl oz champagne
- 21 oz flour
- 6 oz cocoa
- M&M's
- whipped cream
- fondant
- glittery decorative sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 340°F. Beat the eggs and sugar until foamy before stirring in the rest of the ingredients to create a smooth batter. Add the mixture to 12 cupcake baking cups.
- Transfer the rest of the batter to a 9-inch baking pan. Bake the cupcakes for 15 minutes and the cake for 25 minutes at 340°F.
- Cut a small "lid" out of the cupcakes, hollow them out, fill them with M&M's, and place the lid back on top.
- Whip the cream until stiff and spread it thick onto the cake and individual cupcakes. Next, add some decorative sugar to the cupcakes so that the cake is shiny and the cupcakes have a darker surface.
- Pipe a whipped cream clock face onto the cake and add numbers onto the cupcakes. Next, make the hands out of the cardboard. Use the fondant, hands, and a toothpick to show the right time.
- Biting into the cupcakes shows off their colorful beauty. The countdown can now begin. Dig into a cupcake every hour!
