I decided to get in the football spirit this year! As cheers turned into yells and back to cheers in the corner of my home, I snuck off to the kitchen with my friend {and amazing baker} Stephanie along with my daughters to create a football cake to celebrate the holy day of Football. Here's our Superbowl Super Awesome Chocolate and Peanut Butter Football Cake Recipe...
Cake Ingredients:
2.5 cups all-purpose flour
1.5 cups sugar
¾ cup hot cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1½ teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon espresso powder
1 cup milk {we used almond milk}
½ cup coconut oil
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water
mix dry ingredients together and then add in wet ingredients slowly, cake mixture might be watery after adding water but that's okay and normal, bake at 350* f and pour into round baking pan. If you want to bake it into two pans you can cut down on baking time; in one pan it took about an hour, in two pans original recipe suggested only 30 minutes. Once cooked cut a section of the middle out to frost separately and slide outer halves together to form the shape of a football.
