Ingredients
To make a Minion cake, you will need the following ingredients: - 1 box of yellow cake mix - 1 cup of all-purpose flour - 1 cup of granulated sugar - 1 teaspoon of salt - 1 cup of sour cream - 4 large eggs - 1/2 cup of vegetable oil - 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract - Blue and black food coloring - White frosting - Black decorating gel - Candy eyeballs
Cake Mix
Start with a yellow cake mix as the base for your cake. You can use any brand of cake mix that you prefer. Follow the instructions on the box to make the cake batter.
Flour, Sugar, and Salt
In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Once mixed, add this mixture to the cake batter and stir until everything is combined.
Sour Cream, Eggs, and Oil
Next, add the sour cream, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the cake batter. Mix everything together until it's smooth and there are no lumps.
Food Coloring
Separate the cake batter into two bowls. Add blue food coloring to one bowl and black food coloring to the other bowl. Mix each bowl until the color is evenly distributed.
Baking the Cake
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. Pour the blue cake batter into one pan and the black cake batter into the other pan. Bake the cakes for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool completely before moving on to the next step.
Assembling the Cake
Once the cakes have cooled, level them off so that they are both the same height. Place the blue cake layer on a cake board or serving platter. Spread a layer of white frosting on top of the blue cake layer. Place the black cake layer on top of the white frosting.
Frosting the Cake
Cover the entire cake with a thin layer of white frosting. This will be the base for the decorations. Use a piping bag and a small round tip to pipe out the details on the Minion's overalls. Use black decorating gel to outline the overalls and to draw the buttons.
Decorating the Cake
Add the candy eyeballs to the cake. Use black decorating gel to draw the Minion's goggles around the eyes. Pipe out the Minion's mouth and hair with black decorating gel.
