Hedwig Cake (Harry Potter)

My daughter had another Harry Potter themed birthday party, and this is the cake I made for the occasion.

The dough is a gluten-free version of the amazing hazelnut sponge cake from Gretchen's vegan bakery.

I filled and coated it with cookie dough hummus (chickpeas purreed with nut butter and sweetened to taste), and then covered with marzipan.

Note to self: the hummus is awesome for filling the cake, but not for coating. It was a pain to work with and of course, having almost no fat, it dissolves the marzipan. Shoulda known. Next time, use ganache or apricote the cake.

Anyway, it was very delicious, and the birthday girl and her guests were suitably impressed. :-)
