Description

Ingredients

• 1 box white cake mix
• 1 tsp green gel food coloring
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• ¾ teaspoon almond extract
• 1 tablespoon milk, or as needed
• Gold and silver sugar pearls, for decorating
• Powdered sugar, for dusting

Directions

• Preheat oven to temperature indicated on box (325 F for me). Prepare cake batter according to package directions.
• Reserve approximately ½ cup of batter. Add food coloring to remaining batter and stir until the batter is evenly colored.
• Brush pan with pan release (or spray with a commercial baking release spray). Pour in the green batter. Tap the pan on the counter 3 or 4 times to release any air bubbles.
• Pour the reserved white batter over top and use an offset spatula to spread to the edges of the pan.
• Bake according to package directions. Let cake cool in pan for 10 minutes before turning out and allowing to cool on wire rack.
• Stir together the powdered sugar, butter, almond extract and milk to form a thin, slightly runny glaze. Pour a small amount over the tops of the trees and use a pastry brush to brush it over the sides.
• While the glaze is still wet, sprinkle with sugar pearls or sprinkles. Dust lightly with powdered sugar.
