WATERMELON CAKE
Steps:
- For the frosting: With an electric mixer, beat the heavy cream, sugar and vanilla on medium-high speed until the cream reaches stiff peaks. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- For the cake: Cut off the ends of the watermelon, leaving the middle section; remove the rind. Pat the outside of the watermelon dry with paper towels. Set the "cake" on a serving plate.
- Cover the watermelon cake with the frosting. Press the almonds into the sides of the cake. Top with the strawberry slices. Cut into 6 to 8 wedges and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray two 8-inch cake pans and a 2-quart (8-inch) metal bowl with cooking spray and coat with flour, tapping out the excess. Line the bottoms of the cake pans with circles of parchment.
- Toss the chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon of the flour in a small bowl and set aside.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, the remaining flour and 2 cups cold water. Beat on low speed just to combine, then increase the speed to high and beat until very smooth, about 2 minutes. Add red food coloring to deepen the shade from light to dark pink (15 to 20 drops). Stir the flour-coated chocolate chips into the batter. Pour half of the batter into the bowl and divide the remaining batter between the 2 cake pans.
- Bake all 3 cakes until the cake rounds (not the bowl) are risen and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 23 to 25 minutes. Remove the cake rounds to a cooling rack, reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F and continue to bake the cake in the bowl until it is risen and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes more. Cool the bowl cake on a rack, then unmold all three cakes and remove the parchment from the rounds.
- With a serrated knife, cut the domed tops from all 3 cakes to flatten them, and dust off any excess crumbs.
- Remove a heaping 1/4 cup of the frosting to a small bowl and stir in enough red food coloring to approximately match the color of the inside of the cake. Place 1 cake round, cut-side up, on a serving plate. Spread a very thin layer of red frosting on the layer. You do not want the layer to be visible when you cut the cake, it is just to glue the layers together. Top with the second cake round, cut-side down. Spread with another very thin layer of red frosting. Top with the domed cake.
- Frost the entire cake with a layer of white frosting about 1/4 inch thick to make the watermelon "rind." Let the frosting dry and harden in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes
- Meanwhile, put the remaining frosting in an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and add green food coloring, about 15 drops to start, to make a medium-pale green color several shades lighter than your fruit candy.
- Smooth the green frosting over the white layer, taking care not to combine the two colors. Drape the green fruit candy over the cake, cutting to fit as necessary, starting in the center like spokes in a wheel to make the lines on the watermelon. Top with the black or brown licorice candy as a stem.
SORBET WATERMELON CAKE
from Creative Cook's Kitchen recipe book. This does not taste like watermelon, unless you use a watermelon sorbet or ice cream. This can be changed up very easily by using different flavors and different containers in which to shape it.

Steps:
- MAKING THE MOLD:.
- Wrap the inside of the mixing bowl with a thick layer of aluminum foil or plastic wrap.
- Spread with a thick layer of pistachio ice cream, covering the entire inside of the bowl.
- Pack the ice cream tightly against the bowl. Place the bowl in the freezer while you prepare the sorbet mixture.
- In a large bowl, gently combine the chocolate chips with the strawberry sorbet.
- Spread strawberry mixture evenly over pistachio ice cream; smooth top.
- Cover bowl with foil and freezse until hard, several hours or overnight.
- SERVING:.
- To unmold the cake, gently invert the bowl onto a plate; lift bowl. Gently remove plastic wrap. Smooth the surface of the ice cream with a flat metal spatula that has been dipped in water.
- If desired, pipe white icing over pistachio ice cream to decorate rind.
- Before serving, wipe rim of plate with a clean, damp cloth or paper towel to remove any melted ice cream or sorbet.
- To cut the watermelon cake, first make 5 vertical slices, starting at the center of the cake. Then make a horizontal slice to make 12 servings. Use a sharp knife dipped in warm water for clean cuts.
- TIPS:.
- TO soften sorbet, place it in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on HIGH until softened, about 30 seconds.
- Sticky packaging is a sign that sherbet has probably thawed, leaked and then refrozen. For a fresher taste, choose another container of sorbet instead.
- Prepare the watermelon cake up to 1 week in advance. Tightly wrap with plastic wrap and freeze. When ready to serve, let the cake stand at room temp for about 10 minutes to make slicing easier.
- For a delicious and elegant presentation, serve each slice in a pool of fresh fruit sauce, such as strawberry or raspberry, and garnish with a sprig of fresh mint.
- VARIATIONS:.
- For a summertime party, create watermelon cupcakes. Use ramekins or a muffin pan instead of a bowl to reate the smaller version.
- Nature makes watermelon in different shapes and colors, and so can you! Use an oval bowl and substitute orange sherbet for strawberry sorbet.

- MAKE THE FROSTING:.

- ASSEMBLE THE CAKE:.
- Spread 2 T of strawberry jam on the top of 2 of the cake layers (these will be the bottom 2 layers of the cake.
- Spread 1 cup of strawberry frosting on top of one of those layers.
- Put the other layer, with strawberry preserves on it, on top of that layer and spread that one with 1 cup of strawberry frosting.
- Place the last layer (no strawberry preserves on this one) on the very top and spread with 1 cup of strawberry frosting.
- Use the remaining frosting (and there will be a lot) to frost the sides and top of the cake and decorations.
- I suggest you crumb coat the cake and put it in the freezer for 15 minutes and then frost the cake so the sides and top are smooth or any other way you desire. Decorate with shells or flowers or dots by using piping tips.

WATERMELON CAKE
Based on a recipe from Woman's Day magazine, July 2010. When I saw its festive and colorful photo on the cover of the magazine I knew I just had to make it! In addition to the listed ingredients, you will also need: wax paper, pastry bag, coupler, petal decorating tip 101S or 101 or basketweave tip 44 or 47. Cook time doesn't include the several hours chilling time. I guessed on the quantity of Raisinets as no quantity was listed - hopefully this leaves enough extra to snack on while you frost the cake!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Prepare two 9-inch round cake pans by spraying with nonstick spray. Line bottoms with wax paper; coat with spray.
- In large bowl combine cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, water and oil. Beat at medium speed with electric mixer for 2 minutes. Pour evenly into prepared pans. Bake 30 to 35 minutes until cake tester inserted in centers comes out clean.
- Cool in pans on wire rack 15 minutes; invert cakes onto rack, remove paper and allow to cool completely.
- Tint one of the cans of frosting red-orange. Using leaf green, yellow and a bit of black, tint one can frosting pale green. Place ½ cup pale green frosting in a pastry bag fitted with decorating tip. Add more leaf green and black food color to remaining pale green frosting until it turns dark green.
- Stack cake layers on a cutting board; cut crosswise in half. Set one piece aside.
- For large melon slice: Sandwich 3 cake layer halves with 1/3 cup white frosting between each (invert top layer so flat side is up).
- For small melon wedges: Cut reserved piece of cake into 3 wedges. Frost large slice and wedges with a thin layer of remaining white frosting.
- Frost rounded edges of cakes with dark green frosting. Using flat slide of decorating tip, pipe pale green frosting along edge of dark green frosting on sides and top. Pipe squiggly lines onto sides over dark green frosting. Using spatula, smear pale green lines to create the look of watermelon skin.
- Reserve ½ cup red-orange frosting. With remaining red-orange frosting, frost top and straight sides of cakes, leaving about ½-inch border of white frosting. Slice chocolate-covered raisins in half lengthwise to resemble seeds. Place cut-side up into red-orange frosting for pits. Chill several hours or overnight in refrigerator to set.
- Transfer large melon slice to serving tray, standing it on rounded edge. Frost back side of cake with reserved red-orange frosting; decorate with additional chocolate-covered raisins. Place small wedges on tray with large slice.
- To serve large cake, place it back onto a flat side before cutting into slices.
