Yield Makes one 8-inch, 2-layer cake

Number Of Ingredients 4

Vegetable-oil cooking spray
Crispy Cake Basic Recipe
Chocolate-Marshmallow Frosting
Flower- and ball-shaped cereal pieces

Steps:

  • Coat two 8-by-2-inch round cake pans with cooking spray. Prepare crisp-rice mixture; before pouring into pan, reserve 2 tablespoons for patching cake, and set aside, covered. Divide remaining crisp-rice mixture among prepared cake pans. Press into pans with greased fingers to level. Let cool until set, at least 30 minutes.
  • Run a knife around edges of cakes to loosen; unmold onto parchment paper.
  • While frosting is still warm, pour onto center of 1 cake layer, and spread evenly to edges. Let stand 10 minutes. Place second cake layer on top; press down gently. Using reserved pieces of crisp-rice mixture, patch edges where frosting is visible.
  • Decorate with cereal, arranging pieces around top, middle, and bottom edges. Let cake stand until firm enough to slice, at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours. After 2 hours, wrap cake in plastic wrap to prevent it from getting too hard to slice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right base: A sturdy base is essential for a no-bake birthday cake. Graham cracker crumbs, crushed Oreos, or even pretzels can be used to create a solid foundation for your cake.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better your cake will taste. Use real butter, cream cheese, and chocolate for a rich and decadent flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make your cake tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the cake before serving: Chilling the cake for at least 4 hours, or overnight, will help it set and make it easier to slice.
  • Decorate the cake as desired: Once the cake is chilled, you can decorate it with your favorite toppings. Frosting, sprinkles, candy, and fresh fruit are all popular choices.

Conclusion:

No-bake birthday cakes are a delicious and easy way to celebrate a special occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little creativity, you can create a cake that is both beautiful and delicious. Whether you're a beginner baker or a seasoned pro, these recipes are sure to please everyone at your party.
