Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
1 box chocolate cake mix
1 cup whole milk, room temperature
3 large eggs
1 large egg yolk
½ cup vegetable oil
2 ½ cups white chocolate chip
1 can sweetened condensed milk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
8 drops green gel food coloring
buttercream frosting, or canned vanilla frosting
blue gel food coloring
black gel food coloring
purple food coloring
12 white candy melts, divided

Steps:

  • Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Spray a 6-cavity round silicone baking mold with nonstick spray.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the chocolate cake mix, milk, eggs, egg yolk, and canola oil until smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared molds, filling about ⅔ of the way.
  • Set the mold on a baking sheet, then bake about 14 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes, then release from the molds and let cool completely on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Make the ganache: Add the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter to a large, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 60-90 seconds, until melted and smooth. Add the green gel food coloring and stir to combine. Let the ganache cool until it starts to thicken slightly, 3-4 minutes.
  • Pour the ganache over the top of each cake. Let sit for 10 minutes at room temperature, then transfer to the freezer for 10 minutes, until hardened. Add the remaining green ganache to a piping bag fitted with a small tip.
  • Add 1 cup of vanilla frosting to a medium bowl with a few drops of purple food coloring and stir together, then transfer to a piping bag fitted with a medium round tip. Add about ¼ cup of frosting to 2 separate small bowls. Add a few drops of blue food coloring to a bowl and a few drops of black food coloring to the other and stir to combine. Transfer to piping bags fitted with small round tips.
  • Cut 6 white candy melts in half.
  • Set a cake on a small cake board. Pipe a bit of purple frosting onto the front of a cake and press on a whole white candy melt to adhere. Stick 2 halves of a candy melt into the top of the cake for ears. Pipe blue frosting onto the center of the whole white candy melt, then pipe a smaller dot of black frosting on top for the eye. Pipe green ganache over the eye a for a unibrow. Pipe purple frosting around the bottom edge of the cake. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
  • Enjoy!
