Tell your friends you're having breakfast for dessert, then cut open this giant bowl of cereal to reveal a chocolate cake inside! To make the cake as realistic as possible, the base is baked in an ovenproof bowl, then the center is cut out and filled with ice cream to resemble milk in a bowl. Brightly colored cereals, such as multicolored swirls, are ideal for garnish, and don't forget to insert a spoon into the cake for added authenticity.

Ingredients:

• 1 package (450 - 500 g) of dry chocolate cake mix (+ any additional ingredients needed)
• 1 tube (450 g) vanilla glaze
• 2 cups vanilla ice cream
• 1 cup of colored rings (breakfast cereal)

Preparation:

Step 1
• 
  Spray a 2.5-quart (2.5-liter) heatproof bowl with cooking spray. Mix the dry mixture according to package directions; pour the mixture into the bowl. Bake at 325°F (160°C) until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let the cake cool completely.
Step 2
• 
  Remove the cake from the bowl and turn it upside down. Trim the domed top with a serrated knife to make it flat.
Step 3
• 
  Using a small serrated knife, cut a circle 4 cm deep in the top of the cake, 2 cm from the edge. Use your fingers or a fork to scoop out the crumb from the center of the circle.
Step 4
• 
  Invert the cake and place it on a cardboard circle or a plate lined with waxed paper. Frost the rounded side of the cake, leaving the flat top uncovered.
  
  
Step 5
• 
  Cut out a small cardboard circle and place it on the base. Invert the cake onto another sheet of waxed paper.
Step 6
• 
  Frost the rim and inside of the cake (the inside doesn't need to be perfect, as it will be filled with ice cream). Freeze the cake until the frosting sets, about 30 minutes.
Step 7
• 
  Dip a spatula in hot water and wipe dry; smooth out the icing.
Step 8
• 
  Microwave the ice cream until soft but not melted. Transfer it to the cake cavity and smooth it out with a spatula.
  
  
Step 9
• 
  Sprinkle the cereal on top and gently press it into the ice cream. Freeze until the ice cream is set, at least 2 hours. Insert a spoon into the "bowl" and serve the cake.
