Churro Cake with Caramel
My sweet grandson and I baked a this recipe for Churro Cake with Caramel together!
We usually go to the library on the day I watch him and they have a playroom with a little play kitchen.
He LOVES it!
So this week when I took care of him I thought we would cook something for real.
When we were at Disney World over the summer my son loved the churros.
He said we should make a churro cake, so that’s what I decided to make.
This is my grandson pretending to stir before we even began 🙂
How to Make Churro Cake with Caramel
This starts with a box of yellow cake mix.
But instead of following the package directions, we are making some improvements.
Add an extra egg, use butter instead of vegetable oil, and replace the water with milk.
Also some cinnamon to add to the churro part 🙂
My grandson put everything in the bowl.
All I did was measure the ingredients.
I did the hand mixer, as he was not so much a fan of the noise.
But he did like watching as I mixed this for 2 minutes.
Pour the batter into a greased 9×13 pan.
And I highly recommend getting a cute helper like him to help spread the batter evenly.
I did let him lick the spoon just once.
If he had his way he would have finished the whole spoonful, he kept saying “Mmmmmm”!
Place the cake in a 350 degree oven for 32 to 36 minutes.
When it’s still pretty warm, brush the top with melted butter.
Then sprinkle a mixture of white sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon over top.
And then a good drizzle of caramel sauce.
At first the caramel sauce will look like this.
But since the cake is still warm, the caramel will melt evenly over the cake.
Another layer of the cinnamon sugar over top and Churro Cake with Caramel is ready to serve!
We had it while it was still warm and it was amazing!
My son, who originally came up with the idea, was thrilled when he got off the school bus to find THIS as his after school snack.

Would the ingredients remain the same if I used a white cake mix in place of the yellow?
