This is a neat way to make a soccer ball-shaped cake. It’s perfect for birthday parties—kids love it!
Ingredients
- floured cooking spray
- ¾ cup white sugar
- several drops black food coloring, or as needed
- 1 (15.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
- 1 (16 ounce) container vanilla frosting
- 12 black licorice whips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 2 1/2- to 3-quart oven-proof bowl with floured cooking spray. Place sugar into a bowl and stir in black food coloring until desired color is achieved. Set aside.
Step 2
Prepare cake batter according to the package directions. Pour batter into the prepared bowl and bake in the preheated oven until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Let cake cool for 15 minutes in the bowl, then invert and let cake cool completely, about 30 more minutes.
Step 3
Once cake is completely cool, trim flat side of cake and place onto a cake board. Trim edges into a ball shape. Spread frosting all over cake. Using a toothpick, draw a pentagon in the center top of the cake. Surround the pentagon with five hexagons. Repeat over entire cake.
Step 4
Cover lines with black licorice cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Fill the pentagon shapes with black-colored white sugar.
