Instructions for the Cake:
Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Grease and flour the molds.
Cream the butter until smooth and creamy.
Incorporate the sugar and continue beating until well combined.
Add the eggs one by one, waiting for each to incorporate before adding the next.
Add the vanilla.
On the other hand, mix the salt, baking powder, flour, and sift.
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the mixture and finally the milk.
Pour the mixture into the molds and bake at 180°C for 45 minutes.
Unmold and let rest overnight.
Instructions for the Buttercream Frosting:
Beat the butter in a mixer.
Gradually incorporate the powdered sugar while continuing to mix.
Add the vanilla and milk.
Divide the frosting and add a different vegetable coloring to each part.
Once the cake layers are cool, you can make a hole in the center. You can use a circular cutter or a large glass to help you. The larger the circle you make, the more candies your cake will have.
On a cake base, place a little frosting to ensure the cake doesn’t move when placed on it.
Make a hole in one of the cake layers. Place it on the cake base and spread frosting on top with the help of a spatula.
Do the same with the other layer, but this time keep the center you removed with the cutter or glass. Place it on top of the other layer.
Fill with your favorite candies, we suggest chocolate-covered treats, candies, chocolate coins, etc.
Place the center you previously removed as a lid.
Cover the entire cake with frosting in the color of your choice using a spatula.
For decoration, we suggest placing two tablespoons of frosting in the color you like the most inside a piping bag. The type of decoration will depend on the tip you choose.
If desired, you can add edible glitter, colorful sprinkles, or any ingredient you like. Let your imagination run wild.
