Ingredients
8 servings
- •cooking spray
- •0.75 cup white sugar
- •food coloring
- •1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
- •1 (16 ounce) container vanilla frosting
- •12 black licorice whips
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Cover lines with black licorice cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Fill the pentagon shapes with black-colored white sugar.
