Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until no lumps remain.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the melted unsalted butter, large eggs, and vanilla extract together until well incorporated. Gradually blend in the milk.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined.
  4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prep your cauldron-shaped molds by lightly greasing them. Fill each mold about three-quarters full with the batter.
  5. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Once baked, remove the cauldron cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the molds for about 10 minutes.
  7. Generously frost the tops with rich chocolate frosting and sprinkle with edible glitter.

Notes

For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with certified gluten-free flour. Allow cakes to cool completely before frosting to ensure the frosting stays in place.
