Tips:

Use fresh popcorn. Fresh popcorn will pop better and have a better flavor than stale popcorn.
Make sure your sugar syrup is hot enough. The sugar syrup should be at least 240°F (115°C) before you add the popcorn. If the syrup is not hot enough, the popcorn will not stick together.
Work quickly. Once you add the popcorn to the sugar syrup, you need to work quickly to form the cake. The popcorn will start to harden as it cools, so you don't want to take too long.
Press the popcorn into the pan firmly. This will help the cake to hold together.
Let the cake cool completely before cutting it. This will help the cake to set and hold its shape.

Conclusion:

Popcorn cake is a fun and easy treat that is perfect for parties and potlucks. It is also a great way to use up leftover popcorn. With a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious and unique cake that everyone will enjoy.
