Just need to prepare the necessary ingredients and be patient.

To make a cake "Soccer Ball", you will need 400 grams of flour for flour, as much margarine and sugar, 7 eggs, 100 grams of almonds to be ground, and 50 milliliters of milk. For the cream should take two tablespoons of cocoa, as much water, 170 grams of powdered sugar, 75 grams of butter and three peaches. To prepare marzipan will require one glass of almonds, water and sugar. And you will need a spherical shape with a diameter of 23 centimeters.

Now you can make a cake "Soccer Ball". To start, beat the sugar with margarine and gradually drive 7 eggs. After that, add almonds and flour, pour in the milk and knead the dough. Lubricate the form and lining it with baking paper. We put the dough into a mold and bake it in the oven, making a deepening in the center. The baking temperature is 170 degrees, and the time is 1.5 hours.

In the meantime, we scald almonds with boiling water and remove the shell from it. Dry the nuts and fry them in a frying pan. Then grind them in a coffee grinder. Mix sugar and water, cook syrup. Spread into it roasted almonds and leave on fire for 4 minutes, stirring constantly. After that, grind this mass in a blender. This turned out to be marzipan. Separate the third part of this mass and add chocolate to it, melted in a water bath. Marzipan is wrapped in film.

We make cocoa with two spoonfuls of boiling water and beat it with butter and sugar powder. Peaches are removed peel, scalding them with boiling water.

Finished cakes cut along into three parts. The lower layers are greased with cream and spread on them peaches, cut into pieces. The third layer, the final one, is laid out on top and spread with cream.

We take the marzipan and roll it on the table with not very thin layers. Now it is necessary to cut it into hexagons. To make a cake "Football ball", you need black and white parts. Now we need to cover them with a damp towel.

Hexagons spread on the cake, as on a football. On the sides of the cake you can make a picture of a cream of green color in the form of grass. The cake is stored in the refrigerator until it is served on the table.

For the basis of this cake, you can take a biscuit dough. It is baked in the oven according to the classic recipe. You can make two types of test: dark and white. In the base we put biscuit cake of white color, and from above we form a sphere from pieces of dark biscuit, fastening them with any cream. We decorate the cake with hexagons, which can be made from dark jam or jam. There is room for imagination here. You can make dark fragments of chocolate.
