👩🍳 How to Make a Winter Wonderland Cake
Step 1: Bake and Cool the Cake Layers
Bake your favorite chocolate cake recipe in three 8-inch round pans. Let the layers cool completely before frosting — this ensures a smooth, crumb-free finish.
Step 2: Prepare the Frosting
Make a batch of Pascha’s Ultimate Chocolate Sweet Potato Frosting. This rich, silky, vegan frosting spreads easily and adds a deep chocolate flavor to every bite.
Step 3: Assemble and Frost the Cake
Layer and frost your cake with the sweet potato chocolate frosting, covering both the inside and outside evenly. Place the cake on a serving plate wide enough to decorate with trees along the sides.
Step 4: Create the Sugar Cone Trees
Using a cutting board and a serrated knife, carefully trim sugar cones to various sizes — some with the tops removed for small trees, and others trimmed at angles to rest against the cake’s sides. Expect a few to break, so have extra cones on hand!
Step 5: Decorate the Trees
Pipe stars or dots of green icing all over the cones to resemble pine trees. Place the decorated cones around the top and base of your cake to create a “forest” effect.
Step 6: Add the Snowy Finish
Dust the entire cake and trees with icing sugar to create a snowy winter wonderland look. Serve and enjoy your magical chocolate creation!
🎄 Recipe Tips & Variations
- For extra sparkle, dust the trees with edible glitter or add silver dragées as ornaments.
- Use Pascha Vegan White Baking Chips to drizzle “snow” over the trees.
- Switch up the frosting flavor with Pascha’s Vegan White Chocolate Cream Cheese Icing for a lighter finish.
- Keep the cake refrigerated until serving for the cleanest slice and best texture.
