Equipment

  • Pan

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Red food coloring
  • White frosting
  • Chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your cake pans. You'll need two round cake pans, one that is 8 inches in diameter and one that is 6 inches in diameter. Grease the pans with butter and lightly dust with flour.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, and mix until well combined.
  • Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
  • Divide the batter between the two cake pans. The larger cake pan should be filled about 2/3 of the way full, while the smaller one should be filled about 1/3 of the way full.
  • Bake the cakes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cakes to cool completely before removing them from the pans.
  • Once the cakes have cooled, it's time to decorate! First, place the larger cake on a cake stand or plate. Cover it with a generous layer of white frosting.
  • Add a few drops of red food coloring to the remaining frosting and mix well until you achieve the desired shade of red.
  • Use a knife or spatula to frost the smaller cake with the red frosting.
  • Place the smaller cake on top of the larger cake to create the toadstool shape.
  • Use chocolate chips to create the spots on the toadstool cap. Simply press the chocolate chips into the red frosting, arranging them in a circular pattern.
