Ingredients
- FOR THE CAKE
- 1 box vanilla cake mix
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- ⅓ c. vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- ½ c. water
- ½ c. Fireball Cinnamon Whisky
- FOR THE FILLING AND FROSTING
- 1½ c. (3 sticks) butter, softened
- Pinch kosher salt
- 6 c. powdered sugar
- ¼ c. Fireball Cinnamon Whisky
- Yellow and red food coloring
- FOR DECORATION
- Hot Tamales
- Fireball nip, optional
Instructions
- Make cake: Preheat oven to 350°. Grease and flour two 8" round pans with parchment paper. In a large bowl, mix together cake mix and cinnamon, then stir in vegetable oil, eggs, water, and whisky. Divide batter evenly between prepared cake pans. Bake according to package directions and let cool completely.
- Make Fireball frosting: In a large bowl, combine butter, salt, half the powdered sugar, and ¼ cup whisky. Using a hand mixer, beat until smooth. Add the remaining powdered sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Gently stir in yellow food coloring, then red, being careful not to over mix (you want it to be streaky).
- Place a dab of frosting on cake plate to keep cake in place while you frost. Place down first cake and top with frosting, then top with second cake and frost. Frost the sides, then transfer remaining buttercream into a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
- Pipe dollops of buttercream around the rim of the cake and top with hot tamales. Pipe a large swirl into the center of the cake and top with a miniature bottle of Fireball.
