How to Make April Fools Day Cheeseburger Cake

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder. Mix well.
3. In a separate bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup buttermilk and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce. Add this to the batter and mix until smooth.
5. Divide batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto wire racks to cool completely.
7. While cakes are cooling, prepare the frosting: In a large bowl, beat together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 3 cups powdered sugar, ¼ cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons yellow mustard, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, and ½ teaspoon onion powder until smooth and creamy.
8. Once cakes are completely cool, frost the top of one layer with a generous amount of frosting. Top with the second cake layer and frost the entire cake.
9. Decorate the cake with your favorite burger toppings: shredded cheddar cheese, thinly sliced pickles, finely chopped onion, and ketchup. Serve immediately and enjoy the surprised reactions!
