For the Cauldron Cakes
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour substitute with gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free versions
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar consider brown sugar for a deeper flavor

  • 1 tbsp Baking Powder ensure it is fresh for best results
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda can be omitted if using self-rising flour
  • 1/4 tsp Salt always use fine salt to prevent graininess

  • 2 large Eggs opt for flax eggs or applesauce for vegan versions

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until smooth and no lumps remain.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, blend together the melted unsalted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Gradually whisk in the milk until the mixture is completely smooth.
  3. Slowly pour the wet ingredient mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring gently. Mix until just combined.
  4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Fill each cauldron mold about 3/4 full with the batter and bake for about 20-25 minutes.
  5. Once baked, cool in the molds for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Frost each cake with rich chocolate frosting and sprinkle with edible glitter.
