1. Heat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour 13×9×2-inch baking pan.
|
|
2. Stir together sugar, flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt in large bowl. Add milk, shortening, eggs and vanilla. Beat on low speed of mixer 30 seconds to blend ingredients. Beat on medium speed 3 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour batter into prepared pan.
|
|
3. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pan to wire rack. Cool completely. Place cake on tray.
|
|
4. Prepare Grass and Greens Frosting; remove about one-half to small bowl. Add enough food color to resemble medium green grass; frost entire cake with this mixture. If desired, press pastry brush over surface for texture. Make remaining frosting a deeper green; outline three areas for greens on top of cake. Fill in outlines with darker green frosting. Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs or light brown sugar on small area to resemble a sand trap. Mark triangular paper flags with numbers to identify specific holes; glue flags onto toothpicks. Place flags at greens. A small ball of white frosting or a small piece of a marshmallow can be used for the golf ball.
