![]() ![]() This cake is delicious-with that much chocolate and butter, it has to be-but the magic is in the presentation. Get them all around the table so they can see this amazing thing you’ve made in all it’s rainbow candy avalanche glory. Gather all your family, friends, neighbors, coworkers-really, anyone will do. The dollops are all different sizes and I love it! I decorated the top with even more M&Ms and used the last of the frosting to pipe a border. For a sort-of photo tutorial on that, see last week’s Cinnamon Buttercream post. And speaking of M&Ms… …pour in almost 2 cups of them ❤ ❤ ❤ Place your last intact layer of cake on top, effectively hiding all that surprise candy. That’s where the surprise M&Ms are going to go ❤ Spread a thin layer of buttercream on the “walls.” This will help keep the moist cake from melting the color off the M&Ms too quickly. At this point, you’ll have a three layer cake with a hole in it. ![]() Layer those on top of that bottom round, frosting between and on top. I use a 6-inch ring for this, but you can use a wide-mouthed glass or even just a paring knife and a circle of parchment. Take two of the layers and punch out holes in the centers. Place one of the layers on a serving plate or your favorite of all your cakestands. You may recognize this recipe from my my Chocolate Cake with Malted Chocolate Buttercream-it’s exactly the same except that I scaled it up by 50%. This one is a super easy no-mixer recipe that makes four soft, moist, perfect layers. ![]() You’re going to need four 9-inch round layers of chocolate cake. That original cake was for a friend and not intended for the blog, but given the response, I thought you might like to know how to make your own! First things first. I posted pictures of a big M&Ms-stuffed chocolate cake on my social media last week and y’all went crazy for it! I get it-chocolate cake + buttercream + M&Ms inside + more M&Ms on top = MAGIC. ![]()
