Happy Birthday Cake From Harry Potter
Ingredients:
In order to make this magical Harry Potter-inspired cake, you'll need the following ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup butterscotch chips
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- Green food coloring
- 1/2 cup buttercream frosting
- Chocolate syrup
- Your favorite birthday candle
Instructions:
Once you've gathered all of the ingredients, it's time to begin baking your Harry Potter-inspired cake. Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch cake pans, then set them aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this aside.
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three batches, mixing after each addition. Add the Greek yogurt and mix until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips, walnuts, butterscotch chips, marshmallows, white chocolate chips, and a few drops of green food coloring.
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans, then bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely before frosting.
Once the cakes have cooled, spread a generous layer of buttercream frosting between the two layers and on the top and sides of the cake. Drizzle with chocolate syrup, then place your favorite birthday candle on top.
