This Halloween Spider Surprise Cake features a white cake with a secret hole in the middle, filled with frosting and topped with spooky spiders. The cake is made from four layers, with the top layer solid and the bottom three cut out to create a cavity. After frosting, decorate with plastic spiders for a frightfully fun dessert.
Ingredients
Directions
- Bake the white cake batter in two 8-inch round pans. Let them cool completely, then slice each round horizontally to create four layers total.
- Take three of the four layers and stack them. Using a knife, cut a hole about 2 1/2 inches wide through the center of the stack. Remove the cut-out cake pieces, leaving an open cavity.
- Separate the three layers again and spread vanilla frosting between each one.
- Re-stack the three frosted layers, then place the fourth solid layer (without a hole) on top.
- Frost the entire outside of the cake with the remaining vanilla frosting.
- Decorate the cake by placing the spooky spiders on top and around the sides.
