Watermelon Cake
White cake mix (for 2 layer cake)
2 packages cherry Kool-AidŽ type drink mix
White frosting
1 cup granulated sugar
Green food coloring
1/3 cup raisins
Flour
Ingredients according to cake mix directions (water, oil, eggs,
etc.)
Oven safe Pyrex mixing bowl
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour oven safe mixing
bowl.
Be sure that your bowl is completely oven safe. It must say it right
on the
bowl to be assured of being oven safe. Most glass bowls are not oven safe.
Put cake mix in another bowl with 2 packages of Kool-AidŽ type drink
mix and 1 cup of
sugar; stir to combine. Add ingredients listed on cake mix package and mix
as directed.
Roll raisins in flour and add to finished cake mix (just raisins not
any extra flour).
Pour into oven safe bowl. Bake 50 to 55 minutes. Checking every 5 minutes
after 40 minutes. Check for doneness with knife inserted in center of
cake.
When it comes out clean the cake is done. Remove from oven. Let stand 10
to
15 minutes before inverting onto cake plate to remove cake. Let cool
completely.
Stir green food coloring into frosting a few drops at a time to make
a nice light green.
Frost cake, bringing spatula from the bottom to the center (the unevenness
of the
frosting will resemble where the vine was attached to the watermelon.
Squeeze a
few drops of food coloring onto a small dish. Dip tip of your frosting
spatula into the
color and onto the cake in a radial pattern. Do this around the whole
cake. Don't
worry if streaks are too dark; when you do the next step they will
lighten up and,
besides, the streakier the better for a watermelon cake. Starting at sides
of cake
run spatula all the way up the cake and almost to the center
and then stop. Repeat this all the way around the cake.
