You can make a chocolate football cake for game day with no special skills or tools!
Here's how:
- Mix up your favorite chocolate cake recipe, or even use a mix. We'll never tell.
- Bake it in an oven-safe mixing bowl. Use the timing for a Bundt cake, and an extra-long tester.
- Cut your cooled cake in half. A serrated bread knife works best.
- Turn the halves around and put them together to make a football shape. We used seedless black raspberry jam to help the halves stay together.
- Frost your cake.
- Mix up a little bit of cream cheese frosting. Just mix 1 TB each of cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar till it's smooth.
- Put the frosting into a Zip-lock bag, snip a corner, and pipe the stitching. You may be better at piping than we are.
