    Brownie Cake

    You HAVE to make a brownie cake for your next party! It's so simple. Use boxed brownie mix and make a 3-tiered cake! You have to make a brownie cake. For real. Because look how cute it is. I love to serve things in a new way at the parties I throw. It’s such a fun way to add special details that the guests will love. Sure, you can serve a plain old cake. But why not serve a brownie cake? It’s something you don’t see everyday, everyone (well, just about everyone) loves brownies and it’s SO easy. So just make one, ok? 

    Looking for a fun cake idea for your next party? You won't believe how cute these boxed brownie mixes can look. You've never seen a brownie cake like this! To make this 3 tiered brownie cake, I used two boxed brownie mixes. Stupid easy. I prepared the mixes and then poured them in to a 9″, 6″ and 4″ cake pan. They sometimes sell cake pan sets but I really think the top tier looks cutest when it is 4″ instead of 6″. That’s totally personal opinion though…Brownie cakes are a great idea for all kinds of parties! What baby shower wouldn't be even cuter with this three tiered brownie cake!?Once the brownies were cooked through, I let them cool and removed them from the pans. And because I am not a baker, I carried my cakes next door to have my fabulous neighbor level them for me. This brownie cake is totally rustic so I probably could have done it myself, but I knew she would do it right the first time. I know my limits and work around them…And I’m super lucky that I have such talented people in my life. I love to use air plants for an easy cake topper. Here I added one to the top of my brownie cake. What I love about a brownie cake is that there is no frosting. Frosting can get super messy and is another chance for something to go wrong. I am the world’s worst froster. I can’t put on a crumb coat to save my life. So any way around having to use frosting is the best. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll eat frosting all day long. I just don’t want to have to put it on something. I used a light dusting of powdered sugar to finish the cake and it was all it needed. And to add an extra little boho touch, since this was part of my boho baby shower, I topped the brownie cake with a simple air plant. Serve a brownie cake at your next get together! You get the same delicious taste of brownies but done like a tiered cake! Plus you can decorate them in such fun ways like I did for this boho baby shower. Rose quartz and air plants make it extra cool. This brownie cake as so easy to make but totally different from what you would normally find at a party. Plus it looks super celebratory. So instead of making your brownies in a dumb old pan, next time make this tiered brownie cake instead.

      Do you have the details on the cook time and temperature for the different sizes?

        I don’t! I think it will depend on the size pans that you use. For the smallest size, I kept checking it with a cake testing pick. But it was thicker than the traditional cake pan so they took a similar time.
