Ingredients:
To make this delicious snowman cake, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 box of white cake mix
- 3 eggs
- 2/3 cup of vegetable oil
- 1 cup of water
- 2 cans of white frosting
- Fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons of melted butter
- 1/4 cup of brown sugar
- 1/4 cup of white sugar
- 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 cup of chopped pecans
- Assorted candies and decorations for the eyes, nose, and arms of the snowman
Instructions:
Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. In a large bowl, mix the cake mix, eggs, oil, and water with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds. Increase the speed to medium and mix for another 2 minutes. Divide the batter between the two cake pans and bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
In a medium bowl, stir together the melted butter, brown sugar, white sugar, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir in the pecans, then spread the mixture in an even layer on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes or until the topping is golden brown. Allow the topping to cool completely before breaking it into pieces.
Once the cakes have cooled, place one of the cakes on a plate or cake stand. Spread a thin layer of frosting on top and sprinkle with the cooled topping. Place the second cake on top, then frost the entire cake with the remaining frosting. Decorate the snowman with the fresh strawberries for the eyes, nose, and arms. Place the assorted candies and decorations on the cake for the face and buttons.
