Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 seedless watermelon (approx. 5 lbs)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream (for frosting)
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar (for frosting)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Watermelon: Slice both ends of the watermelon off to create a stable base. Cut into even layers about 1 inch thick.
  2. Make the Cake Batter: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In one bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk eggs, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth. Combine wet ingredients with dry until just mixed.
  3. Bake: Pour batter into greased round cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow layers to cool completely.
  4. Prepare Frosting: In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  5. Assemble: On a serving platter, layer cake and watermelon alternately with frosting in between each layer.
  6. Final Touches: Frost the top and sides with remaining whipped cream and decorate as desired.
