Here's a whimsical cake the kids will love. We like to make this one for Father's Day too.

Ingredients & Materials:

• batter for a 2-layer cake
• 1 can sour cream white frosting or creamy white frosting
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 2 apricot halves, well drained
• 2 round chocolate cookies or 2 chocolate covered peppermint patties (2-1/2 inches in diameter)
• 8" oven-going skillet - those with handles that can withstand oven temperatures (check the manufacturer's instructions). If you do not have an 8 inch oven-going skillet, bake the cake in an 8 inch round baking pan. Remove and cool the cake, then slip it into an ordinary 8 inch skillet and decorate.

Grease and flour an 8 inch oven-going skillet. Pour batter into skillet and bake in a 350° for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in skillet on wire rack.

Reserve 1/2 cup of the frosting. Combine the remaining frosting and the cinnamon; spread atop cake to the edge of the skillet. Spread the reserved white frosting atop cake to form two "egg whites". Place apricot "yolks" in the center of "egg whites". Place cookies or mint patties alongside "eggs" to resemble sausage patties.
