Ingredients
- 2 cups popcorn balls
- 1 cup butter
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- Assorted food colorings
- Sprinkles, for decoration
Instructions
Making the Cake:
Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the corn syrup and brown sugar, stirring until combined. Add the vanilla, salt, and baking soda. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and confectioners' sugar. Gradually add the cooled butter mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until combined.
Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and press the cake batter into the pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the center is set. Allow the cake to cool completely before adding the popcorn balls.
Making the Popcorn Balls:
In a large bowl, combine the popcorn balls and the melted butter. Stir until the popcorn balls are evenly coated. Gradually add the corn syrup and brown sugar, stirring until combined. Divide the popcorn ball mixture into three bowls, then add a different food coloring to each bowl. Stir until the popcorn balls are evenly coated with the food coloring.
Take one bowl of popcorn balls and press them into the cooled cake pan. Then take the second bowl of popcorn balls and press them on top of the first layer, working your way around the cake. Finally, take the third bowl of popcorn balls and press them on top. Add sprinkles for decoration, if desired.
Put the cake in the refrigerator to set for at least two hours before serving. Slice and enjoy!
