Turkey Gobbler Cake Recipe

Turkey Gobbler Cake Recipe

  • 1 (18.25 ounce) package Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® devil's food cake mix
  • 1 1/3 cups water
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 (12 ounce) tub Betty Crocker® Whipped milk chocolate ready-to-spread frosting
  • 1 marshmallow
  • Red colored sugar
  • 35 pieces candy corn
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (metal or glass pan). Grease (or lightly spray with cooking spray) bottoms only of two 9-inch round pans.
  2. Beat cake mix, water, oil and eggs in large bowl on low speed 1 minute, scraping bowl constantly (do not overbeat); or stir 2 minutes by hand. Pour into pans.
  3. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. (Decrease bake time by 2 to 3 minutes if using dark or nonstick pan.) Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Freeze cut pieces uncovered 1 hour for easier frosting.
  4. Place uncut layer on cake plate; frost top and side. Place cutout circle on larger layer; frost. Arrange head and feet on circle; frost.
  5. Cut marshmallow in half. Moisten 1 half and dip in red sugar; join to head with frosting for turkey's wattle. Use other half of marshmallow for turkey's eye. Use candy corn for beak, claws and feathers. Store loosely covered.
