Birthday Cake With KitKat Bars

Ingredients

For this delicious birthday cake you will need the following ingredients. One box of your favorite cake mix, three eggs, one cup of oil, one cup of water, and one teaspoon of vanilla extract. You will also need several KitKat bars, some buttercream frosting, and some edible decorations.

Instructions

To begin, preheat your oven and prepare the cake mix according to the instructions on the box. Grease a 9-inch cake pan and pour the batter into the pan. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Once the cake is done baking, let it cool before continuing.

While the cake is baking, start breaking the KitKat bars into small pieces and set aside. Once the cake is cooled, spread a thin layer of buttercream frosting over the top of the cake. Sprinkle the KitKat pieces over the top of the cake and press them down gently into the frosting.

Next, spread a generous layer of buttercream frosting over the top and sides of the cake. Decorate the cake with your choice of edible decorations, such as sprinkles, edible glitter, or mini chocolate chips. For a finishing touch, add a few KitKat pieces around the edge of the cake.
