How to make Easy Minecraft Birthday Cake

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round pans.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda.

In another bowl, combine eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Add to the dry mixture.

Gradually stir in the boiling water, little by little, until the batter becomes smooth. Be careful not to overmix.

Divide the batter equally between the two prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once done, remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

While the cakes are cooling, prepare the vanilla buttercream frosting. Once ready, add a few drops of green food coloring and mix until you achieve the desired vibrant green color.

Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a generous of green frosting on top. Carefully place the second cake layer on top of the frosting.

Frost the entire cake with the green frosting, making sure to smooth the surface.

To mimic a Minecraft block, decorate the sides of the cake with square-shaped cookies or chocolate bars.

If desired, scatter some edible sugar grass on the top to represent the grass terrain.

Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the frosting to set.

Serve and enjoy this delicious Minecraft-themed cake with your fellow gamers!
