How to cook deliciously - Turkey Cake

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line the bottoms of three greased 8-inch round baking pans with parchment; grease the paper. In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients and beat them on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium for two minutes. Transfer batter to prepared pans.

2. Stage

Bake until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean (about 35 to 40 minutes). Cool in pans for 10 minutes before removing to wire racks; remove the paper. Cool completely.

3. Stage

Sift the confectioners' sugar and cocoa together. In a large bowl, beat the butter and vanilla until blended. Beat in the confectioners' sugar mixture. Beat in enough milk to reach the desired consistency. Spread the frosting between layers and over the top and sides of the cake.

4. Stage

Place each color of melted candy coating in a piping bag fitted with a medium round tip; pipe various circles of each color onto parchment. Drag the back of an offset spatula through each circle to create oblong shapes for the turkey feathers. Let it stand until set.

5. Stage

Arrange the turkey feathers upright into the top of the cake. Using a small round tip, pipe the melted white candy coating into two small discs, adding a black nonpareil in the center for eyes. With another small round tip, pipe melted red candy coating into a comma shape for the wattle. Cut a yellow candy coating disc into a triangle for the beak. Attach the eyes, beak and wattle to the front of the cake using extra frosting.
