1 1/4 cups water |
1/3 cup vegetable oil |
3 eggs |
1 (16 ounce) container betty crocker whipped fluffy ready-to-spread white frosting |
1 large red gumdrop |
red and black shoestring licorice |
red sugar |
1 large black gumdrop |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350ºF.

4. Pour half the batter into casserole; pour remaining batter into loaf pan.
5. Bake about 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
6. Cool 10 minutes.

9. Wrap and freeze loaf cake for another use.
10. Place cake, rounded side up, on serving plate.
11. Frost cake with frosting.
