Create a Hobbit House Cake with Magic

Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This process usually takes about 5 minutes.

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.

In another bowl, combine all-purpose flour and baking powder, then gradually add this to your wet mixture, alternating with the whole milk until everything is well incorporated.

Divide the batter into prepared cake pans and place them in the preheated oven. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once done, remove them from the oven and let cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

While the cake is cooling, it’s time to create the decorations. Roll out the marzipan and shape it into doors and windows for your Hobbit house. Feel free to use food coloring to paint them for an authentic look.

Create the edible moss by mixing green food coloring with desiccated coconut or using pre-made edible versions.

Once your cakes are cool, stack them to form the base of your Hobbit house. It’s okay if they are uneven; it will add to the rustic charm.

Cover the entire cake with a layer of frosting to create a smooth surface. Apply the edible moss around the base and on top of the cake for that magical look.

Attach your marzipan doors and windows to the sides, and don’t forget to stick the chocolate sticks on top to create a roof.

Sprinkle some edible glitter for a touch of sparkle. Set the cake in a well-decorated area to enhance its fairy tale theme.

Your beautiful Hobbit House Cake is ready to enjoy! Share it with friends and family for a delightful experience.
