My daughter was obsessed with Minnie Mouse around the time she turned two, so we threw her a Minnie Mouse birthday party. It was a lot of fun making themed food for the party!
The Minnie Cake was my favorite part. I made a double cake recipe, piped on ombre pink icing,
To transform the cake into Minnie Mouse, I added 2 chocolate ears, and a pink polka dot bow.
Minnie Mouse Cake
4 layers of cake, topped with sweet buttercream icing, topped with chocolate ears and a pink polka dot bow creates a very special Minnie Mouse party cake!
Servings: 30
Ingredients
Paleo Vanilla Cake (double batch)
- 12 eggs
- 2 tbsp vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup coconut oil, melted
- 2/3 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup raw honey
- 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 4 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
Sweet Cream Cheese Ingredients:
- 1 cup cream cheese
- 3 tbsp honey
- food dye
Cacao Buttercream Ingredients:
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup melted cocoa butter
- 1/2 cup honey
- 3/4 cups butter
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- food dye
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Lightly grease 4 8-inch round pans. I also recommend lining the bottom of the pan with a circle of parchment paper to keep the cake from sticking to the pan.
- Blend together the eggs, vanilla, coconut oil, coconut milk, honey, and apple cider vinegar until smooth. Add in the flour and baking powder and mix together.
- Divide the batter evenly between the 4 pans and bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- While baking, blend together the sweet cream cheese ingredients. In a stand mixer, mix together the cacao buttercream ingredients on high.
- Once the cakes cool, top 3 of the cakes with sweet cream cheese icing and layer them on top of each other. Cover the entire cake with cacao buttercream. To make the ombre icing, add 1 more tbsp of colorant for each layer.
- To make the ears, melt dark chocolate into a large circular cutter, remove the cutter, and place in the freezer.
