Harry Potter Birthday Cake - DIY

Thank you so much for 15.000 subscribers! I'm celebrating with a cake that I've longed to make for a long time ;) Harry's birthday cake :D
I had fun making this one, but this is probable one of the very few baking creations I will ever make ;) hope you enjoy even though I could have used a better green icing in this video :D
Step 1
The Cake 00:05
I ended up making this x2 to get a higher cake :)
200g Room tempered butter
270g Granulated sugar
3 eggs
60g Cocoa powder
300g Flour
½ tbs Baking powder
1 ½ tbs Baking soda
1 tbs Vanilla powder
1 tbs Salt
270g Ice cold water
00:09 Cover the bottom of a springform or cake pan with removable bottom
00:16 Grease the side
00:19 Dust with cocoa
00:23 Beat butter and sugar until white and fluffy
00:31Add the eggs one at a time
00:43 Sieve the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl
00:52 Add some of the dry ingredients and alternate with the water
01:10 Pour it in to the cake pan
01:15 Bake for about 35-40 minutes at 175 degrees Celsius
01:16 Take of the rim and let cool completely
Step 2
Nutella Mousse 01:21
2 Gelatin sheets
300g Nutella
3 dl Whipping cream
If you want, raspberries :3
01:25 Add the gelatin sheets in cold water for 5 minutes
01:27 Heat half of the cream with Nutella on the stove until smooth
01:35 Add the gelatin sheets in the warm cream
01:38 Let it dissolve and allow to cool
01:43 Pour the remaining cream
01:46 Whisk it together so it gets creamy
01:50 Level the bottom
01:55 Add the rim
01:58 Pour in the mousse
02:00 Add some berries if you want
Step 3
Strawberry Mousse 02:04
250g Strawberries
2 tbsp of icing sugar
2 tbs lemon juice
4dl Whipping cream
4 Gelatin Sheets
Pink or Red food coloring
02:07 Pour all the ingredients into a pot and heat it up on the stove until boiling
02:11 Mash the strawberries
02:15 Sieve them to remove lumps and seeds
02:27 Add the gelatin sheets in cold water for 5 minutes
02:31 Add the gelatin sheets in the warm strawberry sauce. If needed, reheat the sauce in the microwave for a few seconds to dissolve the gelatin, let cool down
02:35 Pour the cream into a bowl
02:38 Add the food color
02:41 Whisk until fluffy
02:45 In another bowl, add the strawberry sauce
02:46 Add the whipped cream in small portions until fully combined
03:00 For easier control when applying the mousse to the cake, I used a disposable piping bag :)
Step 4
Letters 03:06
Green Icing for cakes, like buttercream frosting or something like that.
Template: www.facebook.c...
!! I used the wrong type of icing for the letters… so they will melt, if you use the wrong one, if the cake is not to be consumed right after you have applied the letters!! :)
Pipe on the letters directly on the cake if you are not going to use the same method as me :) Use the template and trace it on the surface of the cake with a tooth pick and then pipe on the green buttercreamfrosting :D
Assembling the cake!
03:35 Place the cake on a nice plate :D
03:37 Add the top layer, bottoms up for a nice and smooth surface ;)
03:41 Pipe on a small amount of the strawberry mousse, a crumb coat
03:57 Let the mousse set in the freeser for a few minuets
03:59 Add the rest of the mousse and smooth it out, place in in the fridge until the mousse setts
04:15 Use a template to trace out the cracks on the cake
04:30 Pipe on the letters instead of placing them out, use buttercramfrosting
04:57 you can actually see the icing melting here ;)

I am going to try my best to make this cake this weekend! I am getting confused about assembling the cake. Did you make 2 cakes separately? I was thinking I could bake it all together and get a high cake and just bake one big cake. Please let me know 🙏🏻

How many cake did you make to create that level. Because that amount for me just have me for one 2 1/2 inches cake. And that looks say bigger than mine. Do you make 2 cakes and put them together?

Yes, as stated in the description box 😁✨

[@maruzura9899]

I came back to this video and randomly scrolled through the comments. You stole my original comment. Not cool 😒

[@6709LeftzBehind]

Tried this cake, substituted butter for oil, very moist! Second time used half butter and oil, maybe a bit heavy on the cocoa and baked about 40-50 minutes, a bit dry and oddly not sweet which was baffling. Mom said it was bitter from too much baking soda/powder? But I think I used pretty much the same amount both times - 1 tablespoon isn't too much is it? I think most people equate mixed drinks to potions, but I think I baking is more fitting since it's so exact! 😥

[@rockclan7]

Amazing! I have a question, what is the size of the cake?

[@herfstmys987]

it looks great but i don't think the baking soda was activated in this recipe, it needs acidity to activate, sour cream is an often used ingredient in chocolate cakes for this reason. :)

[@НаталияКудрявцева-и8к]

Hey! Good vid i have a question how did you write “HAPPEE BIRTHDAY HARRY” did you do it by your self or what?

[@whitexshaadows]

Hi, great video! I want to make this cake for my friend's birthday but I want to be sure of something: for the cake you doubled the ingredients, so you used 400g of butter, right? or is the recipe in the infobar already x2? Sorry, I'm French, English is not my native language so I'm not quite sure I understood correctly. Thanks in advance!

[@robyn3423]

I always wonder why there are lines in the cake, did Hagrid do it for decoration? Perfect replica!

[@opera_gangster]

Hagrid sat on the cake on the trip there! lol

[@TheCraftMaiden]

Hagrid accidentally sat on it before giving it to Harry :D Thank you very much! :D

Oh they're cracks :D I always thought if he had sat on it, it would be flat 😂

If you say 4dl whipping cream, do you mean 40ml?

Flax seeds! You have to grind them up 1st, then get 1 tablespoon of that + 3 tbps of water = 1 egg, wait for it to gelatinize for 5 mins before adding it to your recipe of choice

i really wish you wouldn't put ingredients by weight. most of us don't have a scale!!!

[@DracoMalfoy-gg2qs]

Well it's good that she does because most people would be interested to know

[@r0ckstarkizz]

there are many people who use recipes with ingredients by weight and/or exact measurement cups for fluids. i always hate the recipes with "cup", "oz", "lb", fl. oz", "pt.", "qt", "gal." measurement - mostly from the USA -, because these quantities seem too inaccurate or look odd when converted, especially when you are used to bake with precise data and always use a measuring cup for fluids and a scale to weigh the non-fluid ingredients. But as others convert cups to grams, you can convert grams to cups. this way it could be alittle more inaccurate, but better than nothing i guess.

[@chanah-rivkam525]

@@r0ckstarkizz Yes, fine. But weight measurements are very different from volume measurements. Like I said, the layperson doesn't use a scale. We have cups and spoons.

[@chanah-rivkam525]

@@r0ckstarkizz I agree that trying to convert weight to volume is inaccurate. That's why recipe makers should take note of the amount of volume their weighted measurements contain and let all of us know. I can't make this cake with what I know and have. I don't own a scale. I am limited to volume recipes.

[@r0ckstarkizz]

@@chanah-rivkam525 I'm pretty sure you will find a recipe for that type of cake or a very similiar one with volume data instead of weight data :) to me using "cups" is a bit confusing, because there are many cups with different volumes and thats just because - here - we are not used to measure in volume. Here we have tools for that, but i dont own them myself, the same for your side of view i guess: Why own both when one runs just fine? ... but I wish you luck to find a similiar recipe for this cake, sorry that you cant bake this one
