Adorn your table with a show-stopping cake that starts with a cake mix and store-bought icing, then adds rich homemade flavor in the fruit-and-nut filling and the festive garnishes.
Ingredients:
- 1 (18.25-ounce) package white cake mix
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- Nutty Fruit Filling
- 1 (7.2-ounce) package fluffy white frosting mix
- 1/2 cup boiling water
- Holly Leaves
- Assorted red candies
- Candy Bow
- Fruit-shaped candies (optional)
- White sugar crystals
Directions:
- Beat first 4 ingredients at medium speed with an electric mixer 2 minutes. Pour into 3 greased and floured 8-inch round or square cakepans.
- Bake at 350° for 15 to 20 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks 10 minutes. Remove from pans, and cool completely on wire racks.
- Spread Nutty Fruit Filling between layers. Set aside.
- Beat frosting mix and 1/2 cup boiling water at low speed 30 seconds. Scrape down sides of bowl; beat at high speed 5 to 7 minutes or until stiff peaks form.
