How to Make Green Man Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. Melt chocolate in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the cooled melted chocolate to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.
  5. Stir in the green food coloring until you reach your desired shade of green.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  8. Carefully stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin.
  9. Pour batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
  10. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Once completely cool, frost and decorate your Green Man Cake as desired! (For cupcakes, fill cupcake liners about 2/3 full and bake for 18-20 minutes).
