Instructions
Preheat oven to 350ºF.
Line two 8x3-inch square baking pans with two strips of non-stick tin foil or parchment paper for easy removal.
If using, place one metal cake rod in each pan (under or over the tin foil.)
Pound Cake Letters:
Combine the pound cake mix with the softened butter and beat on medium low speed to break up the butter into small pieces. Add the milk, sour cream, and eggs and beat on low for 30 seconds then on medium for 1 minute.
Eequally divide the batter among the two 8x3-inch square pans.
Bake for 65-75 minutes, until a thin wood skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Cool cakes in pans for 10 minutes, then remove cakes and set on a cooling rack and allow to cool completely.
Trim off the domed top and about ¼ inch from the sides of each cake.
Cut cakes into 8 slices, about ¾ inches thick. Lay the slices flat on non-stick tin foil or parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
Set in the freezer for at least one hour.
Remove 2 slices of cake from the freezer at a time and use small alphabet cookie cutters to cut out the letters needed to spell out “Eagle Scout”.
Refreeze letters for about an hour.
Cake Layers:
Preheat one or two ovens to 350ºF.
Line two 8x3-inch square baking pans with two strips of non-stick tinfoil or parchment paper for easy removal.
Mark the front of each cake layer by cutting or marking the foil or parchment paper.
Red Cake Layer:
Combine Pillsbury Funfetti red cake mixes with the white chocolate pudding mix, sour cream, egg whites, milk and oil. Mix on low speed for 30 seconds the on medium for 2 minutes.
Pour some of the cake batter into a piping bag.
Pipe red batter into the openings of the "EAGLE" cake letters, filling them ⅔ full.
Pipe a thin layer of red batter over the bottom of one of the square pans. Set the letters “EAGLE” in a row about ½ inch from the front of the pan. Continue to add letters, piping batter in between as you go, until you have 8 rows of letters in the pan.
Pipe batter all around and over top of the letters.
Bake for about 1 hour 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The top of the cake will get very deep brown and may crack.
Repeat this process to create a blue cake layer with the word “SCOUT” inside.
Note: If using only one oven, allow the first cake to bake completely before making the second. It will take about 40 minutes to prepare the second cake and it's best not to open the oven door at that point in the baking process.
Allow the cakes to cool for 10 minutes in their pans, then remove to a wire rack and allow to cool completely.
Cut off the domed part of each cake, being sure you don't cut into the letters.
Set the blue cake on an 8-inch square cake board so that the letters face forward. Spread frosting over the layer.
Set the red cake on top, making sure the letters face forward. Frost and decorate cakes.
