Football Cake Recipe

Heat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix cake mix as directed on box in a medium bowl.

Spray 8 cup glass measuring cup with pam.

Pour cake mix in 8 cup glass measuring cup.

Place cake in oven on the 2nd to lowest rack level for 45 minutes. Stick a butter knife in the middle make sure the cake is done. When the knife comes up clean it's done.

Remove cake from oven. Slide butter knife along the inside of the glass pan to loosen the cake. (between the cake & the measuring cup)

Turn measuring cup upside down onto cutting board & cake will fall out. Let cool for 10 minutes.

Then cut cake in half. (When you cut the cake start at the top & cut to bottom so you have two halves that are identical.)

Place cake on cookie sheet (or whatever tray you would like to serve it on). Lay the cake down so the the long flat sides are on the cookie sheet & the bigger ends (this used to be the top) are facing each other. It will begin to look like a football as you lay it down.

Let cool an additional 15 minutes.

Frost the middle bigger sides & push them together.

Then frost the entire cake.

In a ziplock bag place coconut & food coloring, mix well.

Gently sprinkle the coconut around the edges of the cake (where it touches the cookie sheet), this will look like grass.

Take marshmallows and lay them on the top of the cake in 1 row the length of the cake, then 3 shorter rows the width of the cake.
