Impress kids at the birthday party with a Minecraft Creeper inspired chocolate cake topped with vibrant green Marzipan squares.
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 0.75 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.75 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 cup milk
  • 0.5 cup boiling water
  • 7 ounces marzipan
  • 1 teaspoon green food coloring, divided
  • 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
  • 0.33333334326744 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 tablespoon water, or as needed
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and prepare a 9-inch square pan by greasing and flouring it.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer on medium speed to beat until batter is smooth. Gradually mix in 1/2 cup boiling water. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely for about 30 minutes.
  • Divide marzipan into 3 equal pieces. Mix in different amounts of green food coloring to create a range of green shades. Work each piece individually until color is evenly distributed.
  • Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of confectioners' sugar onto a flat work surface. Roll out the marzipan pieces into thin rectangles and then cut them into equal-sized squares.
  • Mix 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar and 1 tablespoon water in a shallow dish until you reach a creamy consistency, adding more water if necessary.
  • Coat the back of a marzipan square with the confectioners' sugar mixture and position it on the cake's outer edge. Spread out the rest of the squares, mixing the three green shades, on the cake from the edges to the center. Keep three chocolate cake squares visible in the middle for the Creeper's eyes and mouth. Slice the marzipan on each side of the mouth to shape it as desired.
