How Long Should A Cake Cool Before Frosting?

Make sure to let the cake cool down before frosting. When you remove the cake from the oven, you should let it cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes. Then you can remove it from the pan and let it cool further on a cooling rack. If you try and remove it when it is hot, it could break apart and that would be a mess. When your cake has completely cooled down then you can put the frosting on.

Bloody Lemon Eye Ball Loaf Cake Ingredients

What You Need:

I used a lemon cake mix for this recipe. For the lemon cake mix, you need to add eggs, water, and oil. To give the cake the reddish color, I used red food coloring. For the toppings, I used vanilla frosting, red writing gel, and edible dessert decoration candy eyeballs.

How To Make Bloody Lemon Eye Ball Loaf Cake

• The first thing I do is gather all my ingredients and make sure I have everything I need before I start baking.

• Then you preheat your oven to 350.

• While the oven is heating up you will make your cake mix.

• Open the package of cake mix and pour it into a bowl.

• Then you will add water and oil to the bowl and stir around.

• In a separate small bowl crack the eggs and beat them around to mix them.

• Now you will pour the eggs into the bowl with the cake mix.

• Then you will add 2-6 drops of food coloring to the bowl. The amount of food coloring added will depend on how red you want the cake to look. I just added a couple of drops.

• Stir all the ingredients around well and then whisk for 2 minutes.

• Grease the bottom of your loaf pan with cooking spray or oil.

• Now you will pour the cake batter into the loaf pan.

• Place the cake into the oven and bake.

• When the cake is finished baking remove carefully from the oven and let it cool down. Test with a toothpick to make sure there is no wet batter. If it comes out clean your cake is done.

• Let the cake cool down, and then remove it from the loaf pan and place it on a plate or cooling rack.

• When the cake is fully cooled down then you can go ahead and spread the icing on the top of the cake.

• Then add the decorative eyeballs to the top of the cake covering the whole loaf.

• Next, you will decorate with red letter icing to make it look bloody.

• Cut the cake and enjoy for Halloween.
