Time 15m

Yield 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 10 inch bundt cake (any flavor you like)
2 (16 ounce) cans white frosting
food coloring
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 red fruit roll-ups or 1 fruit leather
assorted decorative candies

Steps:

  • You will also need: 1 40x20 cake board covered in foil or paper Cut each bundt cake in half, NOT horizontally, vertically.
  • Position pieces end to end to make a serpentine shape (like an"S" on it's side) Set it on the cake board with a little bit of frosting as the glue.
  • Tint your frosting whatever color you'd like your snake to be.
  • I did a green color.
  • Frost entire length of cake with the colored frosting, frosting halfway down the sides.
  • If you do the whole thing you'll need another can or two of frosting.
  • Place the chocolate chips in a zip bag.
  • Microwave on MEDIUM (50%) power for 20 to 30 seconds.
  • Mush the bag a bit and microwave 20 more seconds on medium power until chocolate is melted.
  • Clip the corner of the bag and use it to make a diamond pattern along the snake's back.
  • cut the fruit roll-up into a strip that has a forked tongue shape on the end and set under one end of the cake Decorate the eyes and nostrils with the candies (I use M&M's).

Yield Makes one 10-inch cake; Serves 10 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 24

1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 ounces (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1/3 cup packed light-brown sugar
2 tablespoons plus 1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1 large egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup plus 1 1/2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
2 pounds plus 10 ounces cream cheese, softened (from six 8-ounce blocks)
3/4 cup sour cream
3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 large eggs plus 1 large yolk
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate (preferably 61 percent cacao), melted and cooled slightly
Boiling water, for pan
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate (preferably 61 percent cacao)
1 tablespoon corn syrup
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
Snake stencil
Green and red powdered food coloring

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. With an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat butter and both sugars until fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Beat in yolk and vanilla. Reduce speed to low; mix in flour mixture, scraping sides of bowl as needed.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Press dough evenly into bottom of a 10-inch springform pan to form a 1/4-inch-thick crust. Chill in freezer 15 minutes. Bake until firm, about 15 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack, and let cool completely. Leave oven on.
  • Make the filling: Whisk together granulated sugar, flour, and cocoa powder. Beat cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes, scraping sides of bowl as needed. Reduce speed to low. Gradually add the sugar mixture, and mix until smooth. Add sour cream and vanilla, and mix until smooth. Add whole eggs, 1 at a time, and the yolk, mixing just to combine after each addition. Add chocolate, and mix until combined.
  • Wrap exterior of springform pan with a double layer of foil. Pour filling onto prepared crust, and set springform pan in a roasting pan. Fill roasting pan with enough boiling water to reach halfway up the sides of springform. Bake cheesecake 45 minutes.
  • Reduce oven to 325 degrees. Continue to bake until set but slightly wobbly in the center, about 30 minutes more. Turn oven off; leave cake in oven with door ajar for 1 hour.
  • Transfer springform pan to a wire rack, remove foil, and let cake cool completely. Run an offset spatula or a knife around edge of cake, and carefully unmold. Set cake on wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Make the glaze: Combine chocolate and corn syrup in a heatproof bowl. Bring cream to a boil in a small saucepan; pour over chocolate mixture. Let stand 5 minutes, then whisk until smooth. (Do not whisk too much or bubbles will form.) Let cool 10 minutes. Pour glaze over cake in a circular motion, starting at the center and slowly moving outward toward the edge, to cover entire surface. Refrigerate, uncovered, until set, at least 4 hours (or up to 2 days, covered).
  • Decorate the cake: Print snake stencil template. Place it under a sheet of calendar vinyl. Use a permanent marker to trace the outline and the snake design onto vinyl. Working on a cutting mat, use a craft knife to cut along the lines. Work slowly and carefully. The vinyl will dull the knife's blade; change the blade as necessary. Set snake stencil on cake. Sift green powdered food coloring over snake, avoiding the tongue. Sift red powdered food coloring over tongue. Carefully remove stencil. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of candy: This will give your cake a more interesting flavor and appearance. For example, some popular candy options include M&Ms, Skittles, gummy bears, and licorice.
  • Be careful not to overcook the cake: Overcooked cake will be dry and crumbly. To test if the cake is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Use a piping bag to decorate the cake: This will give you more control over the design of the cake.
  • Be creative! There are endless possibilities when it comes to decorating a Slinky the Snake Cake. Have fun with it and let your imagination run wild.

Conclusion:

The Slinky the Snake Cake is a fun and delicious cake that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be decorated in a variety of ways. With its colorful candy and fun design, this cake is sure to be a hit with kids and adults alike. So next time you are looking for a fun and festive cake to make, give the Slinky the Snake Cake a try.
