To make the Peeps cake, you will need a box of yellow cake mix, a package of Peeps marshmallow candies, and some food coloring. Prepare the cake mix according to the instructions on the box, and then pour the batter into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Arrange the Peeps on top of the batter, and use food coloring to color the batter in between the Peeps. Bake the cake according to the instructions on the box, and let it cool before serving.
Yes, you can use any type of cake mix you prefer for the Peeps cake. However, keep in mind that the color of the cake may affect the appearance of the Peeps. For example, a chocolate cake mix may not show the colored batter as well as a yellow cake mix.
The number of Peeps you will need depends on the size of your baking pan. For a 9x13 inch pan, you will need approximately 20 Peeps. If you are using a different size pan, you can estimate the number of Peeps needed by arranging them on top of the batter before baking.
Yes, you can use homemade cake batter for the Peeps cake. Just make sure to adjust the measurements accordingly to fit the size of your baking pan. You can also add food coloring to the homemade batter to achieve the same effect as using a boxed mix.
The Peeps cake should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It is best to consume the cake within 2-3 days. Before serving, you can let the cake sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to soften the Peeps and make them easier to cut through.
