How to Make Tasty Harry Potter Themed Chocolate Cake

Harry Potter Themed Chocolate Cake. The cauldron cakes at the The Wizarding World of Harry Potter just got a whole lot more magical. The theme park has switched out the colorless original - made of chocolate cake filled with chocolate mousse, dipped in ganache and topped with a ganache handle - for something altogether. Chocolate is a sweetened confectionery available in both the muggle and wizard worlds.

From Hogwarts to Hedwig, these cakes have got virtually everything in the Harry Potter universe covered. It's pretty difficult to believe that these were baked without the use of magic. The real magic of the Harry Potter universe is that eating books is a viable way to teach yourself the material within them.
