Learn how to make a Surprise-Inside Cake

March 29, 2014 By Naomi Robinson | Bakers Royale 3 Comments

**Winner to this giveaway is Paula N. You have been emailed, please check your spam folder if you don’t see it.**

I’m getting you Easter-ready with this pastel surprise-inside cake. This is an original creation from Amanda Rettke, blogger and author of the Surprise-Inside Cakes book.

Let me start by saying I have the book and it’s lovely—so many creative cakes! But if you are anything like me, then sometimes you skim over words, so going visual is where you learn twice as quickly.

Well friends, we are in luck, because Amanda is on Craftsy . If you are a regular reader, then you know I’ve taken their classes before and love them. For those of you new to Craftsy, it’s an online community with top-notch instructors teaching you how to be—well, crafty—be it sewing, knitting, crafting, baking or in this case how to make these fun surprise-inside cakes from Amanda.

In her class you’ll learn how to make a surprise rainbow heart cake, a bumble bee cake, a candle cake, and my favorite the cake with love spelled out inside.

As for how well my first attempt turned out, stay tuned. It isn’t perfect, but I think it turned out well for my first shot at a surprise-inside cake—a solid testament that Amanda did a great job showing each step-by-step in detail. And sure you might be a bit nervous (I certainly was) to take on a cake like this—but let me assure you—Amanda will calm your nerves and take you through every step with lots of details and reassurance.  She’s also paced it perfectly that you can easily follow along each step of the way. Which is great, so while you can pause, rewind, and replay any segment as you need—you’ll find you won’t need to do that too much. Along with all that she gives you tips for success in between each section.

Here are few tips when watching the video while making the cake at the same time:

  • Place plastic wrap over your electronic, ie. computer or iPad, this will prevent frosting and crumbs from getting all over it.
  • Watch the video from start to finish before you get started—trust me this will help with the work flow.
  • Have all your tools ready—again, this will help with your workflow.
  • Don’t skip on her tips to chill your cake. This will keep it from crumbling while you work with it.
  • Most importantly, don’t worry if it’s not perfect like Amanda’s. It takes some practice.

And heads-up, friends: I’m such a fan of Craftsy, I’ve signed up for 7 seven more classes, so stay tuned. I’m bringing you a whole Craftsy series—that’s going to be me sharing with you the classes I take so you can tune-in, sign-up and we can learn together.

Now, don’t forget  . . . Head over to Craftsy and enter for your chance to win here”

    I like the first one with the rainbow inside a cake! Such cakes can be especially cool for children birthday party: can you imagine their amusement? Kids like little hidden secrets and I will try to follow a recipe to make my kids happy. Hope to use fast thesis writing to spend more time with them is a good decision.

    What strikes a chord when you hear the word cake? For some individuals, the word cake is an equivalent word for longing for, liberality, solace, joy and fulfillment.

    My best is the first one, with the rainbow inside a cake! Such cakes are ideal for children’s birthday parties: can you imagine how happy they would be? Children enjoy little hidden secrets, and I will try to follow a recipe to make my own bakeries so that children will be happy to buy these cakes.

Shrimp and Corn Chowder ~ When things go crazy we Shrimp and Corn Chowder ~ When things go crazy we go simple! Who else feels this? #ad Back to school has been off to a rocky start with mixed up carpool rides to missed days from being sick. Thankfully soups like this come together quickly and easily. All you need are just a handful of fresh ingredients and some pantry staples like @enjoyrealcoco Coconut Milk and @kettleandfire Bone Broth. Both of which are @TetraPakUSA  packaged. This means I can stock my pantry and not worry about rotating the food month-to-month. The aseptic packaging solution helps unopened food have a shelf life of six months or more without the need for refrigeration or preservatives. I’m telling you it’s the little things, like food packaging—something you don’t even think about most days, that ends up being the thing that can have the biggest impact sometimes! #ProtectsWhatsGood

Who’s ready to roll into fall with cozy, autumna Who’s ready to roll into fall with cozy, autumnal picnics? To kickstart the season, the kids and I are headed to the park to enjoy an Apple Spiced Cake and warm sips of Apple Cider sweetened with our favorite pantry staple, @truvia. #ad

Truvia Sweet Complete Sweeteners are zero-calorie and made with plant-based stevia sweetness. Whether you are using the All-Purpose, Brown, or Confectioners Sweetener, they measure cup-for-cup like sugar in your favorite seasonal baked goods! 

Apple Spiced Cake 
Serves 12 

3 cups (14 oz.) self-rising flour
1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 
3 eggs
1 cup (6.25 oz.) Truvia Sweet Complete Granulated All-Purpose Sweetener 
1 cup (5.75 oz.) Truvia Sweet Complete Brown Sweetener 
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup vegetable oil 
1 1/2 cups (5.5 oz.) peeled and shredded granny smith apple, about 2 large

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 10-12 cup bundt pan with non-stick spray. Set aside. 

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves. Set aside.

In a second large bowl, add the eggs, and beat until combined. Add both the Truvia Sweet Complete Granulated All-Purpose and Brown Sweeteners, whisk until fully incorporated. Pour in buttermilk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil, whisk until combined. 

Fold dry ingredients into the wet until smooth. Add the grated apples and fold until just combined. 

Pour batter in prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes or until a cake tester comes out free of wet batter. Transfer cake to a wire rack and let cool in the bundt pan for 20 minutes. Unmold cake and let cool completely on a wire rack. Before serving, dust with Truvia Sweet Complete Confectioners Sweetener. Enjoy outside with a seasonal beverage!
