Celebrate with a cute "I'm one" cake using Betty Crocker mix, shaped like a number one, and decorated with baby's favorite toppings like fruit, animal crackers, and sprinkles.
Ingredients:
  • 1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ White Cake Mix (or your favorite flavor)
  • Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
  • 1 tub (12 oz) Betty Crocker™ Whipped Fluffy White Frosting
  • Green food color
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (or 325°F for dark/nonstick pans). Grease only the bottom of an 8x4-inch loaf pan with shortening or cooking spray, and line each of 12 regular-size muffin cups with paper baking cups.
  • In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to blend together cake mix, water, oil, and eggs on low speed for 30 seconds. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes, scraping the bowl occasionally, until the mixture is smooth. Transfer 1 3/4 cups of the batter into a loaf pan and spoon the rest into muffin cups.
  • Bake the loaf cake for 35 to 40 minutes and cupcakes for 18 to 23 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let them cool for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack and let cool completely for about 30 minutes. For easier handling, refrigerate or freeze the loaf cake for 30 to 60 minutes until firm.
  • Mix 1/2 cup frosting with green food color until reaching desired shade. Transfer green frosting into a decorating bag with a small round tip attached; set aside.
  • Trim the rounded top off the loaf cake and place it cut side down on a plate to form a number one shape. Frost the sides and top of the cake with white frosting, then pipe green frosting into stripes on the cake. Use any leftover frosting to frost the cupcakes. Here is the template for the number one shape: (link).
