Ingredients

  • Butter: Adds rich flavor and keeps the cake moist.
  • Eggs: Helps bind the batter and adds structure.
  • Milk: Provides moisture and smooth texture.
  • Vanilla Extract: Enhances flavor.
  • Baking Powder: Makes the cake rise evenly.
  • Food Coloring: Green is common, but any color works.
  • Frosting or Icing: For decoration and extra sweetness.
  • Sprinkles and Edible Decorations: Adds festive flair.

Instructions

  • Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and tools. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your cake molds or pan.
  • Make the Batter:
    • Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
    • In another bowl, beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs, vanilla, and food coloring.
    • Slowly add the dry mix and milk, alternating until smooth.
  • Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into molds or a pan. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool.
  • Shape the Trees: If using a flat pan, cut cooled cake into tree shapes with a cookie cutter.
  • Decorate: Frost the cakes with green icing, add sprinkles, and top with candy stars or other decorations.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Arrange on a platter and share with family and friends!
