Ingredients
Making a Christmas tree shaped cake from a cake pan is simple and fun. To make the cake, you will need:
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1-1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- Butter or non-stick cooking spray
- Chocolate frosting or other preferred frosting
- Christmas tree cake pan
Instructions
First, preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease the Christmas tree cake pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Add in the vanilla extract. Beat until everything is well combined.
Gradually add in the flour mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture. Beat until all ingredients are just combined.
Pour the batter into the greased cake pan. Spread evenly, making sure to get all the corners. Place the cake pan into the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Once the cake is cooled, frost the cake with the chocolate frosting or your favorite frosting.
Serve and enjoy!
