EGG-IN-A-HOLE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and coat a 9-inch square, 2 1/4-inch-deep cake pan with cooking spray. Prepare the cake mix as directed; pour into the pan and bake until a toothpick comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool slightly, then remove to a rack to cool completely.
• Trim the top of the cake with a long serrated knife to make it level, then cut the cake into two even layers.
• Keeping the layers stacked, use a small serrated knife to round out the four corners of the cake; make a notch in two opposite sides of the cake and the top to make a bread shape as shown.
• Carefully transfer the top cake layer to a baking sheet and cut a 3- to 4-inch circle out of the middle.
• Brush the top with the melted butter and broil until toasted.
• Combine the frosting, cocoa powder and yellow food coloring in a small bowl (it should be a light golden brown). Spread about half of the frosting on the bottom cake layer.
• Carefully place the top cake layer on the bottom layer (use 2 spatulas to transfer the top layer -- it will be fragile). Spread a thin layer of frosting around the edges of the cake to look like the crust.
• Stir the marshmallow cream until loose, then spoon it into the hole in the cake.
• Place the peach half on top of the marshmallow cream and gently press so the edges are slightly submerged. Let sit for a few minutes to let the "egg" settle. Top with grated chocolate to look like pepper.

Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla. On low speed, alternately add flour mixture, about a third at a time, and cocoa mixture, about half at a time, beating just until blended.

• On one side of each cupcake, sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon graham cracker crumbs for "sand." On other side of cupcake, sprinkle generous 1/2 teaspoon green sprinkles for "grass."
• Cut straws into 3 1/2-inch lengths. Cut colored paper into flags. Tape each flag to one end of each straw piece; poke into cupcake. Gently press one gum ball into each cupcake for golf ball.
