Santa & Rudolph Christmas Cakes: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Red and green food coloring
  • Buttercream frosting (for decoration)
  • Chocolate chips (for eyes and buttons)
  • Red candy or M&M’s (for Rudolph’s nose)
  • Edible glitter or sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well blended.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until smooth.
  5. Divide Batter: Split the batter into two bowls. Color one bowl with red food coloring and the other with green.
  6. Layer the Batter: Pour alternating scoops of the red and green batter into the prepared cake pans, creating a marbled effect.
  7. Bake: Place the pans in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool: Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in their pans for 20 minutes. Then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
  9. Prepare Buttercream Frosting: While the cakes cool, prepare your buttercream frosting. You can divide it into bowls and color portions red, green, and white.
  10. Assemble the Cakes: Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving platter. Spread frosting on top, then add the second layer.
  11. Decorate: Use the colored frosting to create Santa’s hat, face, and Rudolph’s features. Use chocolate chips for eyes and a red candy for Rudolph’s nose.
  12. Add Finishing Touches: Sprinkle edible glitter or additional decorations as desired.
