Harry Potter’s Birthday Cake Recipe

Harry Potter's Birthday cake

“You’re a wizard, Harry!” I wish someone would tell me “You’re a witch, Marie“, but oh well, we can always dream. Still waiting for my letter though. Not losing hope. And getting into baking Harry Potter goodies while I wait. So I know, Harry Potter’s birthday was some time ago already but I could not help myself and try to bake Harry Potter’s birthday cake!

Happee Birthdae Harry.

And now it is your turn to try and bake it. Because, as it turns out, it is so easily made and so delicious as well! Perfect with a cup of tea, with only a thin layer of frosting, and just yummy!

Ingredients

For the chocolate sponge For the frosting

-225g softened butter

-225g sugar

-4 eggs

-220g flour

-2 tsp baking powder

-50g cocoa powder

-150g softened butter

-330g icing sugar

-1/2 tsp vanilla extract

-2 tbsp milk

-Pink and green coloring

Method

1. For the chocolate sponge. Pre-heat your oven at 180°C.

2. Put the softened butter in a salad bowl and beat with an electric whip.

3. Add one by one and little by little, sugar, eggs, flour, baking powder and cocoa powder. Beat until fully incorporated.

4. Butter and flour two cake tins. Lin with parchment papers. Divide mixture equally between both tins. Put into the oven for 25 minutes.

5. Let out of the oven. Let cool for 25 minutes. Remove both sponges from their tins. Put on a rack and let cool.

6. For the frosting. Mix in a salad bowl softened butter, icing sugar, vanilla extract and milk. Beat with an electric mixer until fully incorporated.

7. Set aside 1/4 of the mixture in a small bowl. Put a few drops of pink coloring in the big bowl. Mix until fully colored. Start little and add more coloring to get a brighter pink.

8. Cover the top of the first sponge with a thin layer of frosting. Put the other sponge atop. Cover the cake with pink frosting. Let set in the fridge for a few minutes.

9. Add a few drops of green coloring to the remaining buttercream. Beat until fully colored. Pur green frosting into a piping bag.

10. Use a toothpick to draw the latter on the pink frosting to use as template. Remove cake from the fridge. Pipe the letters on the cake.

11. Cut yourself a slice, pur yourself a cup of tea and enjoy!

    I am a huge Harry Potter fan! I even used it as the primary text for my dissertation because I enjoy it so much and it made my last year at university more fun as I spent a year analysing my favourite books. But despite listening to the audiobook more times than I can count and watching the films numerous times, I have never attempted to recreate any of the food featured in the series! But this is something I certainly want to try now after seeing your own attempt at Harry’s birthday cake! Which by the way looks fantastic and it makes me crave some cake right now!

    I’m not a Harry Potter fan but I’m a chocolate cake fan! I just like how simple this recipe is, I’ll buy some ingredients to make cake the next time I’m at the market.

    OK this is absolutely wonderful! It looks so cool and just like in the film, and it sounds delicious.
    Honestly it looks amazing. I’m tempted to give it a go for my nephew’s birthday and change the name, he’s a huge Harry Potter fan.

    I favour the view!
    ?Cialis funciona! Y si, ?esta clinicamente probado!
    Ya lo dijimos, pero vale la pena volver a mencionarlo, Cialis es la unica pastilla para la disfuncion erectil clinicamente probada que funciona hasta 36 horas. Este medicamento ya ha sido sometido a multiples investigaciones clinicas que demostraron su capacidad para ayudar a mejorar la ereccion de los pacientes en un estudio controlado mediante placebo. El resultado fue que en un universo de mas de 700 pacientes, el 88% informo una mejora significativa en su ereccion.

    ?Todos pueden tomar Cialis?
    Siempre debe consultar con su medico primero, pero podemos decir de antemano que las personas que usan nitratos (nitroglicer) o bloqueadores alfa no deben tomar Cialis.
