For those of you who love football/soccer and cake, this cake is for you!

Ingredients
4 eggs
3 dl (1 1/4 cup) sugar
225 g (7,9 oz) butter (melted)
6 dl (2 1/4 cup) plain flour
3 tbsp cocoa
3 tsp baking powder
3 tsp vanilla sugar
2, 25 dl (1 cup) milk

Green cream cheese buttercream
150 g (5,3 oz) butter (room temperature)
100 g (3,5 oz) cream cheese
300 g (10,5 oz) powdered sugar
1-2 tsp vanilla extract
Green food color

Decoration

How to do it

• Preheat the oven to 200ºC / 390ºF. Line a roasting tray, size 30×38 cm (12×15 in) to 35×43 cm (14×17 in), with parchment paper.
• Melt the butter and let it cool down a bit.
• In a large bowl, beat the eggs together with sugar for a few minutes until you have a thick and fluffy mixture. I use a stand mixer with a whisk, but you may also use an electric hand mixer.
• Add the melted butter to the mixture.
• In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa, baking powder and vanilla sugar.
• Slowly add the mixed dry ingredients and the milk to the mixture, and mix until you have a smooth batter.

I used the Dr. Oetker Football Kit (which contains green sprinkles, edible football decorations and white writing icing) and the Cacas Football Set (which contains players and goals). #notsponsored
