Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 175C/350F.
- Mix together the spice mix and place in a air tight container. You'll only be using a bit of this mix for this recipe.
- Spray the food processor with the canola oil so the dates don't stick.
- In batches, heat up the dates (in a small microwavable bowl) in the microwave for 10-15 secs to soften.
- Place in the food processor and blend, then repeat with the rest.
- By hand, mix the 1 1/2 tsp of spice mix and 1/2 tsp of almond essence into the date mixture.
- Set aside.
- In a mixer, beat the butter, then add in the sugar.
- Beat for a few minutes until creamy.
- Add in the flour, then the water.
- Turn out onto a board dusted with plain flour.
- Roll out relatively thinly, and cut out circles.
- Spray your cookie tray with canola oil spray.
- Place one circle into a cookie hole.
- Take a small ball of the date mixture, and press with your fingers into a flattened circle.
- Place into the cookie tray on top of the dough.
- Place another cookie dough circle on top.
- Press the middle down, then press the edges together.
- Repeat, then place in the oven to bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, use the back of a large spoon to gently press the centres (to keep the indentation), then set aside to cool.
- Dust with icing sugar and serve.

Steps:
- FOR THE CAKES.
- Mix up the cake mix according to the box.
- Grease and fill the muffin tins half way.
- Push one marshmallow into the center of each cup of batter.
- Bake according to the box.
- FOR THE FILLING.
- Mix the pudding like you are gonna make a pie rather than just pudding.
- Add the food coloring (I went with a dingy green).
- Fold the cool whip into the pudding.
- (You may want to refrigerate it so it will set up a little).
- Fill the cakes with your "potion" (I used a plastic bag to pipe it into each cake).
- Eat & Enjoy!
Tips:
- Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the ingredients incorporate smoothly and create a more evenly textured cake.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cakes tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a light hand when measuring your flour. Too much flour can make the cakes dry and crumbly.
- Bake the cakes in a preheated oven. This will help them rise evenly and prevent them from sinking in the middle.
- Don't open the oven door while the cakes are baking. This can cause the cakes to fall.
- Let the cakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from melting.
Conclusion:
Cauldron cakes are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any Harry Potter fan. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make these magical cakes at home. So grab your cauldron and get baking!
