Spongebob Cake - Eggless chocolate cake



Baked this Spongebob cake for my younger son's 3rd birthday.. Spongebob is a favorite TV show in our household. In fact I was introduced to Spongebob even before I had kids..thanks to my hubby..So it was only obvious I had to attempt this cake and got a wonderful opportunity when we were deciding what cake to bake for RiShawn...His birthday was September 25th..a bit late in posting this recipe...

Happy 3rd Birthday RiShawn....

A Special thanks to my little baking buddy , Jay for all the help in making this cake.. Its an eggless chocolate cake and have used buttercream icing.
Ingredients :
  • 4 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 3 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Preparation :

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Grease a 9 X 13 inch pan.
  • Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl. Add sugar and mix well.
  • Add oil, water and orange juice and mix well.
  • Pour into the prepared 9 X 13 pan and bake for about 50 minutes to an hour. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before icing it. I baked the cake the previous night and let it cool overnight. Did the icing the next morning.
