Gone Fishing Cake

For this cake I used a cinnamon chocolate cake recipe. It was frosted with butter cream frosting and decorated with gum paste and fondant.

Cinnamon Chocolate Cake

2 1/2 cups flour

1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 cup cinnamon

1 stick margarine

4 oz vegetable oil

1 cup water

1/3 cup cocoa

4 oz buttermilk

2 eggs

1/3 cup applesauce

2 cups sugar

Sift dry ingredients into mixing bowl. Stir margarine, oil, water, and cocoa together in saucepan. Heat on low until melted. Mix buttermilk, eggs, and applesauce together. Add sugar. Add dry ingredients to egg mixture. Beat until all lumps are gone. Slowly stir cocoa mixture into batter. Pour batter into greased and floured pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until done.
