Harry Potter Cake
Ingredients
- boxed cake
- 1 cup of applesauce
- 1 cup of water instead of milk and eggs
- 1 cup of vegan butter
- 3 cups of confectioner's sugar
- 1-2 tbsp of dairy free milk
Preparation
Making the cakes: I used boxed cake mix to create the cake- I used both chocolate and vanilla cakes stacked on top of each other. Vegan hack: boxed cake mix is already vegan & to keep it vegan, just add 1 cup of applesauce and 1 cup of water instead of milk and eggs.
Buttercream: To make vegan buttercream, use a hand mixer to mix 1 cup of vegan butter until it turns super soft and creamy (at least 5 minutes). Then add 3 cups of confectioner's sugar and about 1-2 tbsp of dairy free milk. I also added a few drops of red food dye to turn it pink.
Crumb coat the cake. Refrigerate, then add another layer of frosting.
Finally, write the letters in some green icing. I traced mine first with a toothpick to create an outline so that I didn't make any mistakes later with the more permanent green icing.
