What You Will Need
To make Dora cakes, you will need:
-1/4 cup margarine
-1/4 cup vegetable shortening
-2 cups granulated sugar
-4 eggs
-1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
-1 teaspoon baking powder
-1/2 teaspoon baking soda
-1 cup buttermilk or sour milk*
*To sour milk: add 1 tablespoon vinegar to 1 cup milk; let stand 5 minutes.
The Cake Mix
Dora the Explorer is a popular character on children's TV, and she has spawned a wide range of merchandise, including cakes. If you're looking to make a Dora cake for your child's birthday or another special occasion, you'll need a good recipe. This Dora cake recipe uses a cake mix as its base, so it's easy to follow and produce great results.
To make this Dora cake, you will need:
- 1 box of yellow cake mix
- 3 eggs
- 1/3 cup of vegetable oil
- 1 cup of water
- Blue and green gel food coloring
- Frosting of your choice (we recommend vanilla buttercream)
- Decorations: purple flowers, green leaves, blueberries, etc.
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans.
2. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix with the eggs, oil and water. Stir until well blended. 3. Divide the batter evenly between two bowls. Add several drops of blue food coloring to one bowl and green food coloring to the other bowl - mix until desired color is achieved. 4. Pour the batter into the prepared pans - one blue and one green layer. Bake according to package instructions (usually around 25 minutes). Allow the cakes to cool completely before frosting them. 5
The Frosting
There are two types of people in this world: those who love the frosting on their cake, and those who prefer the cake itself. For the former group, the frosting is often the best part of the cake. It's sweet, creamy, and can be flavored in endless ways. And when it comes to making a Dora cake, the frosting is key to getting that perfect look.
There are a few things to keep in mind when making your frosting. First, you'll want to make sure it's not too runny. If it is, it won't hold up well on the cake and will just make a mess. Second, you'll want to flavor it to your liking. The sky is the limit here, so have fun with it! Finally, you'll want to color it accordingly. Again, have fun with this and experiment until you get the perfect shade of purple or pink.
Once you have your frosting ready to go, simply spread it over the top of your cooled cake using a spatula or knife. Then, decorate as desired and enjoy!
Decorating the Cake
Assuming you have already made your cake batter and it is in the baking pan, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Then, begin decorating your cake! You will need:
-1 tub of pre-made pink frosting
-1 tub of pre-made purple frosting
-1 tub of pre-made green frosting
-1 package of star sprinkles
-1 package of Dora the Explorer edible decorations
First, use a spoon to evenly spread the pink frosting over the top and sides of the cake. Next, using a different spoon, add purple frosting around the edge of the cake. Finally, add green frosting in a zigzag pattern over the top of the cake. Be sure to save some pink and purple frosting for later!
Next, it's time to add sprinkles! First, sprinkle stars all over the top of the cake. Then, place edible Dora decorations around the outside edge of the cake. Feel free to get creative with this part! You can also add stars to the inside edge of the cake.
Finally, using a knife or spatula, carefully swirl together some of the remaining pink and purple frosting and pipe it onto the top center of the cake. There you have it - a delicious and beautiful Dora Cake!

The Dora Cakes recipe is the perfect way to make your kid’s next birthday special. It is an easy-to-follow recipe that packs a lot of flavor and color into each cake.
