Time 1h15m
Yield 22 to 24 cupcakes
Number Of Ingredients 16
Steps:
- For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 muffin tins with cupcake liners.
- Whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the oil, vanilla, eggs and 1 cup water until well blended. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir until just incorporated.
- Divide the batter among the cupcake liners and bake until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Cool the cupcakes in the tins for 5 minutes, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack.
- For the frosting: Dissolve the coffee in 1 tablespoon hot water in a small bowl; set aside.
- Beat the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until creamy. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar and beat until incorporated. Beat in the vanilla. Add 1/4 cup of the milk and beat to incorporate. Add more milk, a tablespoon at a time, until the frosting is a creamy piping consistency. Remove a rounded cup of the frosting and put it in a piping bag fitted with a plain 1/2-inch tip.
- Add the cocoa powder and dissolved coffee to the mixing bowl and beat until well mixed. Add a little more milk as necessary to return the frosting to a creamy texture.
- On a very large platter or a cutting board, arrange the cupcakes into the shape of a football. When you have a shape you like, spoon a very small amount of frosting onto the bottom of each cupcake and put them back onto the platter to help them stick to it slightly. Spoon the mocha frosting over the cupcakes, then use an offset spatula to smooth it over the top, allowing the frosting to cover the small gaps between the cupcakes. Use the white frosting to pipe the football's laces and the white markings on either end of the ball. Scatter the green candies around the platter, if using.
FOOTBALL CAKE
No special cake pan required: This adorable game day football is made from two cleverly cut cake rounds. Nothing goes to waste-- the trimmings become edible dirt, topped with coconut grass. Touchdown.

Steps:
- Bake two 9-inch round cakes according to package instructions. Let cool completely.
- Beat the butter, sugar and salt on low speed in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or in a large bowl if using a handheld electric mixer) until mostly combined. Add the vanilla, increase the speed to medium-high and beat until smooth. Adjust the consistency of the frosting with milk as desired, adding 1 tablespoon at a time. Remove 3 cups of the frosting and transfer into a pastry bag or a resealable plastic bag. Add the cocoa powder to the remaining frosting in the bowl and beat on low until mostly incorporated. Then beat on medium-high until completely smooth. Set both frostings aside at room temperature until ready to use.
- Use a ruler to measure a 2-inch-wide strip across the entire center of one cake. Cut the strip out and remove (the cake will now be 2 half circles). Repeat with the other cake. Transfer the cutout strips to a medium bowl.
- Transfer the halves of one cake to a cake round or parchment-lined work surface. Push the two halves together snuggly to form a football shape. Trim and level the domed top and transfer the trimmings to the bowl along with the cake strips.
- Snip the tip off of the pastry bag and pipe three-quarters of the white frosting all over the bottom cake layer (the remaining frosting will be used for the laces and stripes). Top the frosting with the remaining two cake halves, domed-side up, pressing them together to create another football shape. Remove 1/4 cup of the chocolate frosting and set aside. Use the remaining chocolate frosting to frost the top and sides of the football. Chill the cake for a least 30 minutes.
- While cake is chilling, crumble all the cake trimmings into tiny crumbs. Add the reserved 1/4 cup chocolate frosting to crumbs and mix until completely combined. Add coconut to a resealable bag with a few drops of green food coloring. Shake and knead the bag until the coconut looks like grass (add more coloring as needed).
- Press the cake and frosting mixture directly onto a cake stand or serving platter into a 9-inch circle about 1/4-inch-thick (this is the "dirt"). Press the coconut grass into the chocolate dirt so that it adheres. Chill while you finish the cake.
- Remove the cake from the refrigerator. Use the remaining quarter white frosting to pipe laces and stripes onto the top and sides of the cake. Carefully remove the cake from the cake round or parchment transfer to the center of the coconut-covered stand or platter.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to180C/160C fan/gas 4. Grease and base line a 20cm round cake tin with baking parchment. To make the chocolate cake, put the butter into a bowl and beat until soft. Add all the remaining ingredients and beat well until light and creamy. Spoon into the tin and spread level. Bake in the oven for about 45 mins or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Cool. When cold, slice the top off the cake to make it level.
- To make the mint cake, grease and base line your 20cm cake tin with baking parchment. Put the butter into a bowl and beat until soft. Add the remaining ingredients and beat well until light and creamy. Spoon into the tin and spread level. Bake in the oven for about 45 mins or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Cool. Do not slice the top level as it needs to be rounded.
- To make the butter icing, put the butter into a bowl and beat until soft. Gradually beat in the icing sugar. Slice the chocolate and mint cakes in half horizontally so you have four layers. Using an 8cm round cutter, stamp a circle from the centre of each layer. Place the bottom layer of chocolate cake on a 25cm cake board. Spread with a little butter icing. Place the bottom green layer on top. Spread with butter icing and place the other chocolate layer on top. Spread with more icing and place the rounded green sponge on top.
- Fill the centre hole with sweets, almost to the top. Take one of the 8cm green sponge pieces and slice in half horizontally. Place one piece on the cake to cover the hole containing the sweets. Spread the top with the remaining butter icing. Roll out about 300g of the white fondant icing to a 20cm circle and place on top of the cake.
- Brush the sides of the cake with apricot jam. Measure the circumference of the cake and the depth. Add 2.5cm to the depth measurement. Using these measurements roll out the green fondant to a long strip. (You may find it easier to do two shorter strips). Attach the strip around the cake. Use scissors snip around the top edge to represent grass.
- Make a cardboard template of a pentagon (5 sides). Roll out the black icing and cut out six pentagons. Place them on the cake as for a football. If you wish to stick them in place use a little icing sugar mixed with water.
- With the remaining white icing trimmings make a scarf and paint with food colouring in your team colours. Drape the scarf over the edge of the cake. Add candles as desired.

- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place a 9-inch cake pan on a piece of parchment paper and trace. Cut out just inside the traced line. Grease the pan very well on the bottom and sides with nonstick spray (I use classic Pam spray) and place the parchment round inside to lie flat.
- Add the ingredients to a medium bowl and whisk gently to combine. Add the batter to the prepared pan, shaking gently to evenly distribute it.
- Bake for 22-24 minutes or until the middle is firm to a light touch and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out cleanly. Try not to over bake.
- Let cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes, then carefully run a paring knife around the edges of the cake to loosen the cake if needed. Place a wire rack on top of the cake pan and flip over to invert the cake onto the rack. Lift off the pan and let the cake completely cool.

30 COOL FOOTBALL CAKES AND HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN
From diys.com
- Hand drawn logo cake. If you’ve never tried out how fun it can be to write and hand draw on fondant with markers containing edible dessert ink then we’re sorry to tell you that you’ve been missing out!
- Football cake and field theme stand. Sometimes presentation is just as important as the cake itself! That’s why we thought this idea from Happy Go Lucky for printing yard lines and covering a tub with them to make a field themed cake stand was such a good idea.
- Rounded football cake. Are you feeling skeptical about your cake carving skills because you’ve never tried it before and you don’t have time for a redo if it goes horribly wrong?
- Easy no-carve football cake. Are you actually intent on getting the shape right but you’re still feeling skeptical about carving? In that case, we’d definitely suggest taking a look at how Erin Gardner made it happen just by making three simple cuts in straight lines and pushing the sides of the cake together!
- Easy angled football cake. Just in case shape and dimension is actually quite important to you, here’s a tutorial from Bake Like A Pro for icing the laces of the football closer to the side to make the ball look more rounded like it’s tipping forward, even though it’s sitting flat.
- Football surprise cake. Just in case you love following fun baking trends just as much as we do, here’s a themed “surprise cake” that’s so cool your kids will hardly believe it!
- Smooth buttercream and fondant football cake. Just in case you’ve got the shape down but you’re feeling determined to get the texture right (while also making sure it looks very neat and well done indeed), here’s a useful butterceam and fondant tutorial featured on Cake Supplies Plus.
- Star tip piping football. Have you been trying to practice your different icing and piping skills so you can make all kinds of fun themed cakes? In that case, we’d definitely suggest taking a look at how The Beachy Blonde created their football’s details using a star tip on their icing bag to get that unique texture.
- Candy football game cake. Just because a cake is football themed doesn’t mean it actually has to be shaped like a football! We love the way Spaceships and Laser Beams used all different kinds of candy to turn a regular sheet cake into a colourful football field.
- Football cake on dyed shredded coconut grass. The Mike n’ Ike “stitching” on this football is cool and all, but the part we’re particularly interested is the craft that the ball appears to be resting on!
