Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10-inch round cake pan; dust with cocoa powder.
  2. 2 Combine cake mix, 1 cup water, eggs, and oil in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until batter is smooth, about 2 minutes. Pour batter into the prepared cake pan.
  3. 3 Bake in the preheated oven until cake springs back when lightly touched, and a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes.
  4. 4 Meanwhile, chill a stainless steel bowl and beaters in the refrigerator, at least 20 minutes.
  5. 5 Cool cake in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes; remove cake from pan to finish cooling completely.
  6. 6 Place baking chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high power until chocolate is slightly warm, about 1 minute. Continue to microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until chocolate melted.
  7. 7 Stir melted chocolate and condensed milk together in a large bowl until well combined; whisk in pudding mix and ¼ cup water until thick and smooth, about 1 minute. Cover the bowl; refrigerate, at least 30 minutes.
  8. 8 Whip cream in the chilled bowl with an electric mixer using the chilled beaters until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes.
  9. 9 Stir chilled pudding mixture until smooth; gently fold in whipped cream for chocolate frosting.
  10. 10 Cut cake into 2 equal halves; stack, cut-sides down, on a platter. Glue halves together with a thin coating of frosting if needed.
  11. 11 Cut a small wedge from top of cake, about ⅓ of the way up, to form a head. Attach wedge to bottom of cake (opposite the head) using toothpicks to make a tail.
  12. 12 Generously frost cake; sprinkle with grated chocolate for fur.
  13. 13 Place jelly beans on front of head to make eyes and nose. Cut 2 large ears from construction paper; insert into top of head.
  14. 14 Refrigerate cake until ready to serve.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a lamb-shaped cake mold.
  2. 2 Beat 2 cups sugar and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. Add egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition before adding the next.
  3. 3 Gradually beat in flour, alternating with bourbon, vanilla extract, and almond extract; beat until fully incorporated.
  4. 4 Beat egg whites in a separate bowl until foamy. Gradually add remaining 1 cup sugar, continuing to beat until medium peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up; the tip of the peak formed by the egg whites should curl over slightly.
  5. 5 Gently fold ⅓ egg whites into batter using a large whisk or rubber spatula to lighten. Fold in remaining egg whites, then gently mix in chopped pecans. Pour about 1 cup batter into the prepared cake mold. Put a toothpick into each ear and nose to serve as dowels to help the cake hold together while baking. Pour remaining batter into mold.
  6. 6 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 ½ hours. Cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely, about 50 minutes more.
  7. 7 Transfer cooled cake to a serving plate. Decorate with frosting, coconut, and candies.
