FLOWERPOT CAKE

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 2h

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Cooking spray
1 16 1/2-ounce box devil's food cake mix (plus required ingredients)
1 16-ounce tub plus 1 cup milk chocolate frosting
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, plus more for dusting
1 24-ounce package white fondant
3/4 teaspoon red gel food coloring
1/4 teaspoon orange gel food coloring
Mint sprigs and edible flowers, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 6-inch-round and an 8-inch-round cake pan with parchment paper; coat with cooking spray. Prepare the cake mix as directed; divide between the pans and bake 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool.
  • Level the tops of the cakes with a serrated knife (save the trimmings). Halve the cakes horizontally. Working on a cake board or plate, stack the 8-inch layers, then the 6-inch layers, frosting between each layer.
  • Hold a serrated knife at an angle and trim the edges of the layer cake all the way around to make an upside-down pot shape. Cover the cake with all but 1/2 cup of the remaining frosting; freeze 30 minutes.
  • Sprinkle 3 tablespoons cocoa powder on a sheet of parchment; put the fondant on top, make a small well in the middle and put the food coloring in the well. Knead until the color is even.
  • Dust a surface with cocoa powder; roll out the colored fondant into a 24-by-6 1/2-inch rectangle, trimming the edges to make them straight. Cut off a 24-by-1 1/4-inch strip of fondant; set aside.
  • Wrap the wide piece of fondant around the cake, pressing and smoothing it with your fingers. Trim the excess with a paring knife.
  • Reroll the fondant scraps and cut out a 5-inch circle; press the fondant circle on top of the cake to form the pot bottom. Invert the cake onto a board. Lightly brush the thin strip of fondant with water; attach to the top edge of the cake, allowing the strip to come slightly above the edge. Trim the ends.
  • Cover the top of the cake with the remaining 1/2 cup frosting, then crumble the cake trimmings on top.
  • When ready to serve, stick mint sprigs and edible flowers into the cake.

FLOWER POT CAKE



Flower Pot Cake image

This is a light, creamy dessert that is lots of fun! Prep/time does not include the time it takes to bake the cake, since that may vary according to the pans you use. Do I need to tell you that you should buy a new flower pot just for this dessert? For fun, garnish with gummy worms and serve with a plastic spade. Note: RZ is refusing to understand "artificial flowers" in the ingredient list- and keeps changing it to edible fresh flowers... but you want fake ones!
