Easy Pull-Apart Cake – A Great Alternative to Cupcakes!

Sharing is caring!

This is an easy way to make a cake that requires NO slicing and is much easier than making and frosting a cake that is made up of a bunch of individual cupcakes stacked together.  Ours was designed to look like a snowball, but that “snowy” look is totally optional!

NOTE:  This actually makes TWO cakes!

Prepare white cake mix according to package directions.
Using two 9″ round pie plates, nestle 12 cupcake papers into each.
Fill the wrappers half-way with batter:

Bake according to box directions for a layer cake.  Once they start to barely brown, stick a toothpick in the center to see if it comes out clean – if so, they’re done! (I cooked these just a bit too long.)

Let the cake cool thoroughly, and then transfer to a serving plate.  It’s ok if the pieces come apart while you’re doing this – it’s easy to fit them back together like a puzzle.  Frost with your favorite frosting.

    What a wonderful idea! I really love that this “pull apart” cake is easier to handle thus easier to serve! Not to mention that I can fit 4 pie plates in the oven. That would keep me from having to make four batches of cupcakes one at a time. I love anything that can save me some time!

    Since this makes two cakes it would be great for a dinner party or birthday. I would actually keep one and give on away. I love easy recipes like this. And the pull apart is great for easy cleanup to.
