Here are a few visual steps for the Easy Chocolate Football Cake
Once your cake has baked fully and cooling remove from pan and place on a parchment sheet for easy clean up. Slice down the middle about a 2-3 inch section then remove. You can use this for cake pops in the future so hang on to it if you want!
Then carefully move the right and left side of the cake together like image below. Can you see the football shape coming together?
Then take your chocolate frosting and use a spatula to pile all frosting on top. Then take a Frosting Spatula and spread evenly over the cake. I like to use the parchment paper under the cake to move it around and get the sides frosted real well.
Take the vanilla and fill your Cake Icing Pen . You can also use a plastic baggie with a small hole cut on end. Be careful not to cut too big.
Then use your Icing pen to create laces that resemble a football.
And here is the end result! You will want to carefully lift up with a large cake knife or spatula and transfer to a cake plate.
Hope you not only enjoy making this with your kiddos but enjoy the scrumptiousness of it too!
Super cute right?
