I’m in love with this turkey chocolate cake I made for Tablespoon. He’s easy to make, delicious, and super cute.  It was pure agony to slice into him, but my 7 year old could wait no longer.  Sorry Tom! To make this turkey chocolate cake, you don’t have to be an expert cake decorator. This is a perfect Thanksgiving cake for beginners.

how to make a chocolate turkey cake

Prepare a chocolate cake in a Bundt pan and let cool.

 Microwave store-bought chocolate frosting for 15 to 20 seconds until it’s of a pour-able consistency. Spoon over the cake and let set.

For the tail feathers, follow the instructions for rainbow marshmallow kabobs to make five lollipop sticks topped with three marshmallows each in yellow, orange, and red. (To coat marshmallows in sprinkles, use a toothpick to dip a marshmallow in water and then coat in yellow, orange, or red sprinkles. Slide the dried marshmallows on lollipop sticks, using vegetable shortening on the stick so it glides on easily.)  Prop the sticks in the cake.

Slice a marshmallow in half. Use a black food writer to draw eyes and attach to the cake with frosting. Cut a marshmallow diagonally and coat half in yellow and the other in red using the method above. Arrange on cake.
