Celebrate your child's magician-themed birthday with enchanting treats and delightful surprises.
Ingredients:
  • 4 x 340g packets golden buttercake cake mix
  • Black gel food colouring (see notes)
  • 165.00 gm black cherry and vanilla jam, strained
  • 3 x 80g packets gold-foiled chocolate coins
  • 375g unsalted butter, softened
  • 375.00 gm icing sugar mixture
  • 30.90 gm milk
  • Black gel food colouring
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180C (160C fan-forced) and generously grease three 7cm-deep, 18cm round cake pans along with one 6.5cm-deep, 25cm round cake pan. Line the bases and sides of each pan with double layers of baking paper.
  • Prepare cake mixes according to the package instructions. Divide the batter evenly into two bowls. Add black food coloring to one bowl and mix well. Spoon 1/4 cup of each colored batter alternately into the pans. Use a butter knife to swirl the colors together for a marbled effect.
  • Bake cakes for 40 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let them rest in the pans for 5 minutes, then invert them onto wire racks lined with baking paper. Allow them to cool completely.
  • In a mixing bowl, cream butter with an electric mixer for 8 to 10 minutes until fluffy. Gradually mix in icing sugar until well combined. Add milk and mix until smooth. Incorporate black food coloring to achieve desired tint for the buttercream icing.
  • Trim the tops of each cake to create an even surface. Cut out the centers of two small cakes using a 7cm round cutter and discard them. Place a whole small cake in the center of a serving plate or cake board. Spread 1/3 of the jam on top of the cake. Place one of the cut cakes on top and spread with half of the remaining jam. Add the last cut cake and spread the remaining jam on top. Fill the center of the cake with chocolate coins.
  • Spread a smooth layer of buttercream around the side of the cake stack. Coat the top and side of the large cake with buttercream. Gently place the large cake on top of the stacked cakes. Apply the remaining buttercream below the brim of the hat. Following the visual reference, attach the ribbon under the brim of the cake to create a band. Insert the bunny ears in the middle of the top cake. Serve and enjoy!
