"Favorite Player" Carrot-Walnut Cake Recipe
Super Bowl Recipes

 


 

To make your "Favorite Player" Carrot-Walnut Cake (below), bake the cake as directed. Cool the cake on a rectangular wire rack 10 minutes. Cover 1 rack with a towel; place rack, towel side down, on top of cake; turn over as a unit. Remove pan. Place a rack on bottom of cake; turn over both racks so the cake is right side up. Cool completely. Cut cake as shown in diagram.
 

To frost the cake with ease, freeze the cut cake pieces for about an hour. Arrange cake pieces on tray to form jersey as shown. Tint the frosting with food color to look like the color of the jersey of the team you want to win. Frost the cake, then complete the jersey with trim (in the appropriate color), number and name of your favorite player, using Betty Crocker� decorating icing in a tube.

For a real conversation piece, copy and enlarge a picture of a favorite player's face, using a copy machine, and glue it onto cardboard. Cut the cardboard around the face. Glue two wooden chopsticks or skewers to the back, leaving half of each stick exposed. Poke the sticks into the center of the cake at the neck to really look like the player!
