How to Make Peeps Sunflower Cake

  1. Preheat oven according to cake mix instructions. Grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans.
  2. Prepare cake batter according to the cake mix instructions.
  3. Divide batter evenly between prepared pans. Bake according to cake mix instructions (usually 25-30 minutes).
  4. Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto wire racks to cool completely.
  5. Once completely cool, level the tops of the cakes with a serrated knife if necessary.
  6. Frost the top of one cake layer with a generous amount of frosting.
  7. Carefully place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake, covering the sides and top evenly.
  8. Gently curve the Peeps chicks slightly to fit and arrange them around the edge of the cake, creating the sunflower petals.
  9. Arrange chocolate chips in the center of the cake to resemble sunflower seeds.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the frosting to set.
  11. Yield: 12 servings
