Lucky Shamrock Cake For St Patricks Day 1 Bowl Food

LUCKY SHAMROCK CUT-UP CAKE

Steps:

• Place coconut in large resealable plastic bag. Add food coloring; seal bag and shake vigorously until coconut is evenly colored.
• Leave one cake layer whole; cut remaining two cake layers as shown in diagram. (See Shamrock Cake Diagram Tip linked below.) Arrange cake pieces on serving tray as shown in same diagram, using small amount of the whipped topping to hold pieces together. Frost cake with remaining whipped topping. Sprinkle with coconut.
• Flatten gumdrops with rolling pin; cut into shamrock shapes with sharp knife or small cookie cutter. Outline edges with decorating gel; arrange on cake. Use decorating icing to outline cake. Store in refrigerator.

LUCKY SHAMROCK CAKE FOR ST. PATRICK'S DAY- 1 BOWL

Steps:

• Prepare your choice of pudding according to package directions with the 2 cups of milk. I usually use the cooked chocolate pudding. Chill with a piece of plastic wrap pushed down onto the surface of the pudding so that it doesn't form a skin- yuck!
• Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour one 8 inch round cake pan.
• In a bowl combine flour, sugar and baking powder. Add milk, butter, egg, vanilla and food coloring. Beat with a mixer on low speed till combined. Beat on medium 1 minute. Pour into cake pan.
• Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Cool in pan 5 minutes then remove from pan. Cool completely.
• To assemble cake, put cake layer on serving plate, spread pudding over the top and then spread the whipped cream or cool whip over pudding. I don't cover the sides with the whipped cream unless something goes wrong with the cake and it looks funny or something. I think the layers look pretty showing. Sprinkle green sugar, beads or other green cake decorations over the top to finish. Sometimes you can find little green shamrocks in the cookie decorating department.
