This recipe made 8 finished layer cakes in our Kmart Pie Maker.

 

Ingredients

Cupcakes

• 1 x 510g packet White Wings Vanilla Cake Mix
• 1 x 530g packet White Wings Rich Chocolate Cake Mix
• 4 extra large eggs (59g)
• 180ml (3/4 cup) of water
• 180ml (3/4 cup) of milk
• 60g of margarine or softened butter
• 150ml of thickened cream, whipped

Frosting

There's a frosting sachet with each cake mix, so for the two sachets you'll need:

• 30ml (6 tablespoons) of milk
• 120g of margarine or softened butter

 

Method

• In 2 separate medium bowls prepare the vanilla cake mix and the chocolate cake mix as per the instructions on the packets.
• Fill each hole in your pie maker with cake batter to 3/4 full.
• Close the lid and cook for 4 minutes, turn over and cook for another 5 minutes or until done (a metal skewer inserted in the center comes out clean).
• Remove from pie maker and place on a wire rack to cool.
• Repeat for each batch of 4 cakes - there will be enough cake mix for 12 vanilla cupcakes and 12 chocolate cupcakes
• Once the cupcakes have completely cooled, assemble them in stacks of 3 with whipped cream between each one, alternating chocolate and vanilla layers (ie; 2 chocolate with a vanilla in the middle for half of them and the reverse for the other half).
• To make sure that the cupcakes sit flat on each other you may need to trim the rounded tops off the bottom and middle cupcakes in each stack. TIP: Brush any loose crumbs off the cupcakes to avoid the crumbs getting in your frosting.
• Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• In 2 separate small bowls prepare the vanilla frosting and the chocolate frosting as per the instructions on the packets - place frosting mix, 60g of shortening and 15ml of milk in a small bowl and, using an electric mixer, beat on low for 30 seconds until combined. Increase speed to high and mix for another 3 minutes.
• Apply the frosting to each stack using a spatula or icing knife, using chocolate frosting for 4 of them and vanilla frosting for the other 4.
• Decorate using some of the following suggestions:
• Lindt Milk Chocolate or White Chocolate Balls (cut in half)
• A broken Caramilk Twist Twirl bar
• A broken Flake bar
• Crushed white or milk chocolate
• Gaytime Violet Crumble Crumbs or a crushed Violet Crumble bar
• Dessicated Coconut
