I am absolutely ecstatic to make a cake for my sister’s gender reveal! She is hosting a family zoom to share the news, and this gender reveal cake will let everyone know if she’s having a boy or a girl.
With that in mind, I wanted it to be super evident what color was inside the cake as soon as it was sliced. To achieve this, I used colorful ombre cake layers and filled the cake matching sprinkles and candy.
I don’t love the societal expectations that come along with gender reveals, but I do think finding out the assigned gender of a baby is a big milestone and special moment to share with your loved ones.

The first step is to use a 2-inch circle cutter to remove the center from the two middle cake layers. If you’re making ombre cake layers, this means you should leave the darkest and lightest cake layer uncut.
As you stack and frost your cake layers, you should have a nice little cavity in the center of your cake after adding the third layer.
Fill the opening with a matching pink or blue sprinkle blend. Then seal all that goodness in by topping the cake with the lightest, uncut cake layer.

You can also fill the cake with other matching candies like jelly beans, skittles, or gummy candy. It does take a bit of time to separate the candy, but I love the look it gives the filling.
If you want to color the layers in an ombre fashion like I did, I’m going to share my favorite (and the easiest) way to do it!
Rather than dividing the batter into four bowls and making loads of dishes, you can color the batter right in your mixing bowl!

Add a small squirt of either pink or blue gel food coloring in the bowl and stir just until the batter is evenly colored. Scoop 440 grams of batter into one of the prepared pans.
While I love making this gender reveal cake following the recipe below, I know you might not have all of the ingredients on hand. Or if you have food allergies or restrictions, I’ve got you covered.
This recipe can also be used to make different sized cakes. You can also half or double the ingredients to make a half or double batch!

One batch of battercan be also be used to make one9×13-inch sheet cake. Bake it at 325 F for 40-50 minutes and use flower nails or heating cores to help the cake bake evenly.
You can also use this recipe to make a Bundt cake! Bake time can vary based on the size and type of pan you use, and can take anywhere from 45-75 minutes.
I recommend using a toothpick to test for doneness and checking on it every 5-10 minutes once it’s been in the oven for 45 minutes.

The final variation of this recipe is cupcakes!! This recipe makes about 36 regular sized cupcakes. Fill 3/4 full and bake for 17-19 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Make your frosting ahead of time too, or save any leftover frosting! It can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a month, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Be sure to give it a good stir once it thaws to get the consistency nice and smooth again.
How To Make Cake Pops
A frosted cake can last in the fridge for up to a week, or in the freezer for up to a month. The buttercream locks in all the moisture, keeping the cake fresh and delicious!
If you cut into the cake and have leftovers, use any remaining frosting to cover the cut section to keep it moist and store in the fridge for up to a week.

Hi Chel, I'm making this cake this week to surprise my son and daughter in law. If i want to substitute the sour cream for buttermilk, would it be the same amount11/2 cups? Also, I'm using 8inch pans. Do I need to make a half recipe more? If so how much batter per pan? Thank you for any advice you can add! I'm so excited to make this cake and surprise my kids! Happy Thanksgiving, Barbara
I always try and use metric system when making cakes, in most of your recipes you say 3 cups flour = 390 g, but I think 3 cups of flour = 360 g. Can you clarify which it is. As always love your recipes.
