This Under-the-Sea Cake recipe contains jelly beans, nilla wafers, teddy grahams honey graham snacks, cool whip whipped topping, jell-o berry blue flavor gelatin and more.
The inspiration from this cake came from Tartine's pumpkin tea cake. I wanted to make a lighter, cake-ier cake, closer to a dessert you'd eat at a dinner party than to a quickbread you'd eat for breakfast. The frosting recipe is based on my idol Dorie Greenspan's Tangy Cream Cheese Frosting.
Inevitably, everyone wants a piece of cake with a flower on it. Our ingenious cake skirts the problem. Plus, you'll love the buzz you hear when you serve this adorable treat.
