Surprise Inside Poundcake
Hello! I’m so proud of myself right now. I wasn’t sure how this was going to turn out, but I’m so excited to tell you that it worked! I made a “surprise inside” poundcake for St. Patrick’s Day. On the outside it looks like a normal poundcake, but when you slice it… surprise! Shamrock!
This cake has endless possibilities. I’m sure I’ll be making it for lots of other occasions. It would be really neat for a gender reveal party, too!
I’ll tell you my secret to making it. Here’s what you’ll need:
You can use boxed poundcake mix, or my recipe for perfect-poundcake.
2 poundcake mixes
Gel food coloring
Ok. Let’s do this!
Prepare the first poundcake batter, adding in food coloring to reach desired shade for the shape you will be making.
Bake first poundcake and allow to cool completely.
Cut poundcake into 1 1/2 inch slices.
Use a cookie cutter to cut desired shape out of the slices of poundcake.
Prepare pan for 2nd poundcake.
Stand cutouts up along the bottom of prepared pan.
Pour 2nd poundcake batter around and on top of cutouts.
Bake 2nd cake according to directions.
Allow cake to cool completely before cutting.
