The very idea of the setting, the layering, the perfect combinations set in the perfectly right spots. All these mixing together at the right time in the right place in your mouth leave you wonder struck. Punch bowl cakes at that moment seem to us a dream that is too good to be true. No wonder we all get the urge to lick the plates after we’have done with a punch bowl cake.

1. What You Need for a Punch Bowl Cake with Chocolate Toppings

Don’t let others overwhelm you so easily. After all, you can prepare your punch bowl cake in a few attempts. Let’s discuss what you’ll be needing to start with. Since we’re not talking about baking simple cakes, this is what you clearly want to know how to make a punch bowl cake. We’ll start when the cake is half-done. That means when you have that 1-2 layers of cake and the 2 packages of puddings prepared, your 16-ounce container of toppings whipped and all set. And of course, the 20-ounce can be of cherry pie filling or two if you’re going for more.

One way to go about it would be to have a ready-to-eat pound cake from the market.You may slice it into cubes. Just to present a good example, we may discuss the pineapple punch bowl cake in this recipe. Moreover, mostly punch bowl cakes follow the same idea.

You’ll be needing your flavor ingredient or the main specific ingredient for the punch bowl cake to go. That means your pineapples should be crushed. Also, your chocolate paste should be ready or whatever you are adding in your molten flavor layer. You should have crushed and fresh walnuts, flaked coconuts, pineapples and/or strawberries.

The Procedure:

The theory to go about when making a punch bowl cake is to think of it as a house. You want a blueprint of it, floor by floor. What in your view will we need to put in the bottom to keep the shape of the cake intact? And w about the taste that you would want to hit the top or bottom side of the mouth? A punch bowl cake is only as good as the timings of the different layers of taste exploding into your mouth. Be innovative and manage to put the cake cubes in the bottom. The trifle bowl sides should be filled if you don’t want anything wasted.

Now you know you need a layer of your taste-maker in to be ready to go. Crushed pineapples, for instance, are spread across to fill the big gaps. This is to save the paste that is going to be added next. Gently allow it to tell you how much goes where and accordingly, without haste, pour the layer of your pudding. Just after that, you should get that whipped cream you have and have it go with the pudding. This will give it a nice touch of delicate taste. This also helps in strengthening the foundation of your cake.

The Final Steps towards accomplishment:

Now to add the pie fillings like say, cherry pie fillings in the case of the pineapple punch bowl cake. And there you have it, your first floor of the house or the foundation has been laid. Now if you’re going for the easy way, you can repeat the process. But if you’re challenging yourself to a harder cake, you can add a different layer on the foundation. According to the theory of laying, all required and appropriate ingredients and tastes must be in the right places.
