Turkey Gobbler Cake
1 package Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® devil's food cake mix
1 1/3 cups water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 tub Betty Crocker® Whipped milk chocolate ready-to-spread frosting
1 marshmallow
Red colored sugar
35 pieces candy corn
1. Heat oven to 350ºF (metal or glass pan). Grease (or lightly spray with cooking spray) bottoms only of two 9-inch round pans.
2. Beat cake mix, water, oil and eggs in large bowl with electric mixer on low speed 1 minute, scraping bowl constantly. Pour into pans.
3. Bake 28 to 33 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. (Decrease bake time by 2 to 3 minutes if using dark or nonstick pan.) Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Cut 1 layer as shown in diagram. Freeze cut pieces uncovered 1 hour for easier frosting.
4. Place uncut layer on cake plate; frost top and side. Place cutout circle on larger layer; frost. Arrange head and feet on circle; frost.
5. Cut marshmallow in half. Moisten 1 half and dip in red sugar; join to head with frosting for turkey's wattle. Use other half of marshmallow for turkey's eye. Use candy corn for beak, claws and feathers. Store loosely covered.
