With their loyal and dependable nature, it’s easy to love a Taurus—and even easier to love their signature chocolate cake! (Who doesn’t love chocolate?) Tauruses are also notorious for their love of luxury, so what better flavor to reflect their top-shelf tastes than rich espresso? It brings out the flavor of the chocolate cake, courtesy of Betty Crocker™ Delights Super Moist™ Triple Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix, and the caramel Snickers filling in a way that can only be described as indulgently innovative. And, of course, we’d be remiss not to represent the trailblazing quality of Taurus—that’s where the green-tinted buttercream frosting comes in! (Where else would you find a green cake, after all?) The light pink accents and piping create a beautiful contrast on the outside of the cake and are the opulent ‘cherry on top’ of this masterpiece. We can’t think of a better way to celebrate the Taurus in your life!
Need tips and techniques for decorating a vintage cake? See Betty’s article, How to Make A Vintage Cake: Decorating Techniques and Tips for All Skill Levels. It’s full of inspiration for the aspiring cake maker in all of us!
Making this cake for kids or non-caffeine lovers? You can easily skip the espresso powder and add the same amount of ground decaf coffee or even water instead.
The Snickers add a wonderful crunch to this cake but if you’d like to switch it up, try adding Heath or Reese’s candy instead!
