Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1 box white cake mix
- 1 tsp green gel food coloring
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 3/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 tablespoon milk (or as needed)
- Gold and silver sugar pearls (for decorating)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instruction
- Preheat oven to temperature indicated on box (325 F for me). Prepare cake batter according to package directions.
- Reserve approximately ½ cup of batter. Add food coloring to remaining batter and stir until the batter is evenly colored.
- Brush pan with pan release (or spray with a commercial baking release spray). Pour in the green batter. Tap the pan on the counter 3 or 4 times to release any air bubbles.
- Pour the reserved white batter over top and use an offset spatula to spread to the edges of the pan.
- Bake according to package directions. Let cake cool in pan for 10 minutes before turning out and allowing to cool on wire rack.
- Stir together the powdered sugar, butter, almond extract and milk to form a thin, slightly runny glaze. Pour a small amount over the tops of the trees and use a pastry brush to brush it over the sides.
- While the glaze is still wet, sprinkle with sugar pearls or sprinkles. Dust lightly with powdered sugar.
