Stuffed Candy Corn Cake is a festive Halloween dessert featuring colorful yellow, orange, and white cake layers filled with hidden candy in the center. With its fun presentation and sweet surprise, this easy vanilla cake is perfect for parties and fall celebrations.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • Food coloring (yellow and orange)
  • 3–4 cups buttercream frosting (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1–1 1/2 cups assorted small candies (M&Ms, candy corn, or sprinkles)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease three 8-inch round cake pans.
  2. Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Alternate adding dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture until combined and smooth.
  5. Divide batter into three bowls: leave one white, tint one orange, and one yellow with food coloring.
  6. Pour each batter into a prepared cake pan and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
  7. Cut a 3-inch circle from the center of the orange and yellow layers, leaving the white layer intact.
  8. Place the yellow layer on a serving plate, spread frosting, then add the orange layer on top, aligning holes. Fill the center with candies.
  9. Top with the white layer and frost the entire cake with buttercream. Decorate with candy corn or sprinkles.

Notes

  • Use boxed vanilla cake mix for a quicker version (one mix makes three 8-inch layers).
  • Decorate the outside with candy corn or Halloween sprinkles for extra flair.
  • Tint the buttercream in candy corn colors for a layered effect.
  • Unfrosted cake layers can be frozen for up to 1 month.
  • Store leftover cake in the fridge, covered, for up to 3 days.
