How to Make a Minions & Monsters Surprise Cake

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease and flour two round cake pans.

In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Add eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.

Mix on medium speed for 2 minutes until well combined.

Stir in boiling water until the batter is smooth.

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Once cooled, level the tops of the cakes if necessary.

Spread a layer of buttercream frosting on top of one cake layer.

Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with buttercream.

Roll out yellow fondant and cover the cake, smoothing it down.

Use black fondant to create eyes and mouth, and blue fondant for overalls.

Decorate with chocolate chips for added texture.

Chill the cake for at least 30 minutes before serving.
