Myself, I'll be going for the simplistic approach, so my list of ingredients won't be very specific.

Note: The quantities shown were used for the "prototype" cake (the hemisphere), so if you're using the method I'm using, DOUBLE the listed quantities.

Cake Base
  • generic chocolate cake mix
  • canola oil
  • eggs
  • water
(All quantities according to the box of cake mix.)

Filling and Frosting
  • 1/2 pint whipped cream (heavy whipping cream)

Exterior
  • 4 oz. semi-sweet baking chocolate, shaved

Decorations
  • 4 canned maraschino cherries, stems removed

Oh, and don't forget the basic kitchenware as well.
  • two (2) 9-inch circular cake pans
  • two stainless steel mixing bowls
  • measuring cups and spoons
  • spatula
  • fork (or a whisk, if you can get ahold of one)
  • small paring knife (or a larger one, to chop more chocolate faster)
