Best Ever Kit Kat Cake
Today is my birthday, hurray!!! I’ve never been one to get upset about getting older. Call me crazy but I think it’s a blessing. Anyway, Rivera couldn’t wait to bake me a cake. And not just any cake. This best ever kit kat cake! Hes my youngest boy at 5 years old, and his energy and zest for life make me so happy. How could I say no. That and it involved lots and lots of chocolate, so really how could I say no?
In reality he begged to bake me a cake, insisted I buy all the ingredients, cracked a few eggs (and shells) into the bowl and then took off leaving me to bake my own cake. Not exactly the afternoon I had envisioned and I’m pretty sure he was only after the leftover Kit Kats but whatever. Classic!
I’m really glad he did though, because I probably wouldn’t have attempted to make this cake and the results were fabulous! This super easy cake will wow any of the kids (and adults) in your life and it was really easy and cheap to make. If you’re tired of paying stupid money for cakes that kids barely even eat, but still want the wow factor than this cake is for you! You’re welcome 🙂
You can use whatever cake recipe you want here. I cheated and used Betty Crocker’s Rainbow Confetti cake because let’s be real, I have 4 kids and rainbow confetti cake is freakin delicious. I also used Betty Crocker icing too but feel free to use your own recipe.
PS: if you have a great icing recipe I’d love to have it!
Best Ever Kit Kat Cake
Ingredients
Ingredients
1 box of Rainbow Confetti Cake
3 eggs
1 cup of milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 jar of chocolate icing
10 Kit Kat bars
1 large bag of m&m’s or use any of your favorite candy (skittles, Skor Bits, Oreos)
Directions
Directions
1. Prepare the cake mix according to the box directions and pour into two 8″ round pans (greased) and bake (according to the box)
2. After cakes have cooled ice the first cake then stack with the second cake and ice completely. Don’t be shy with the icing. It’s the glue for the kit kats!
3. Break Kit Kats apart and place around the cake, standing up using the icing as glue
4. Use a cute ribbon to hold in place and cover the top with M&Ms (or another candy of your choice)
Soooooo easy!! And half the price or less than what you would be paying at a bakery. Feel free to share pictures of your creations in the comments below
FYI: When purchasing the Kit Kat bars I found that it was cheaper to purchase the 4 packs at the grocery store than to purchase each chocolate bar individually.
