Peeps Sunflower Cake Recipe

Bethany Eledge Cleveland, Tennessee “The inspiration for this cake came from one of my favorite flowers, the sunflower. The yellow peeps make eye-catching flower petals, and I carefully placed chocolate chips in a circular pattern to resemble the seeds in the middle of a sunflower. This cake is easy, but looks quite impressive.”

Ingredients•1 package (18-1/4 ounces) yellow cake mix
•2 cans (16 ounces each) chocolate frosting
•19 yellow chick Peeps candies
•1-1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Directions•Prepare and bake cake according to package directions, using two greased and waxed paper-lined 9-in. round baking pans. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely; carefully remove waxed paper.

• Level tops of cakes. Spread frosting between layers and over the top and sides of cake.
