How to Make a Giant Rainbow Unicorn Donut!

August 8, 2017

Today we’re making a GIANT Rainbow Unicorn Donut Cake!! ? What can I say — it’s delicious, colorful, giant, and it looks like a unicorn! Re-create it at home and I promise it’ll be the cake of your dreams ?

Giant Donut Pan

Help my donut stuck to the pan!

Me too girl!! This happened to me last time I used the pan too. ? Next time, I’m going to grease the pan and then line it with strips of parchment paper. Crossing my fingers that’ll help! But otherwise, it’s not too terrible to gently pry it out with your hands.

^Here’s a pitiful attempt to illustrate what I mean by “strips of parchment.” Nonetheless, I hope it gets the point across ?

  4. Divide batter between the three pans, then bake for 30-35 min.
No-Spread Sugar Cookies
  1. In medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  2. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract.
  3. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients in two additions. Divide dough in half and wrap each half in plastic wrap. Refrigerate cookie dough for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator or until firm.
  4. Generously flour work surface and roll out cookie dough until 1/4" thick. Cut out desired shapes and transfer to a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until bottom of cookies are golden brown.
Royal Icing
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together meringue powder and powdered sugar. Add in 1 1/2 T water and mix with a hand mixer for at least 5 minutes. Add more water as needed and color with food color. For brown icing, use a mix of cocoa powder and orange food color. Without orange food color, icing may look too gray-brown. The orange warms up the color nicely!
White Chocolate Drip
  1. Heat heavy whipping cream in the microwave until it begins to simmer. Spoon in white chocolate chips and let sit for 5 minutes to melt slightly. Mix until fully incorporated (may need to microwave slightly more). Add white food color if desired, and mix in more melted white chocolate if necessary.
