How to Make April Fools Day Cheeseburger Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto wire racks to cool completely.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
