Chocolate Root Beer Football Cake for the Superbowl

I'm a little late on my blogging, so you'll have to excuse my Superbowl reporting here. Anywho, for the Superbowl I usually make a chocolate football cake in my fun football pan, but this year I wanted to make it a little different, I found another Baked recipe for a chocolate root beer bundt cake and I figured it would work perfectly as a football cake instead. Plus, the opportunity to buy some St. Arnold's root beer? Sealed the deal. This cake is denser than most so don't go cutting yourself a platter-sized slice, but def dig into as much as you can handle because it's delicious! Here are my pics of the football cake version (try to ignore the poor lighting, I finished the cake right before half-time so I was late and in a hurry to head out!):




You can find the recipe for the cake and frosting in the book Baked: New Frontiers in Baking by Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito. I recommend hitting the library for this one because it's not as good as their second book (in my opinion).

Enjoy!
