Equipment
- 9x9 inch cake pan or two 8-inch round cake pans
- Mixing bowls
- Electric mixer or hand whisk
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Spatula
- Cooling rack
- Knife for frosting and cutting
- Fondant tools for decorating
- Piping bags
Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 cup milk
- Pinch of salt
For the Frosting:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp milk
- Food coloring
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour your cake pans to prevent sticking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream butter and sugar: In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. This should take about 3–4 minutes.
- Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
- Add dry ingredients and milk: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.
- Bake the cake: Pour the batter into your prepared cake pans, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
- Make the frosting: In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, one cup at a time, and mix well. Add vanilla extract and milk to reach a smooth, spreadable consistency.
- Decorate the cake: Once the cakes have cooled, frost them with the buttercream frosting. Divide the frosting into bowls and add food coloring to create the pixelated blocks. Use a knife or spatula to create the colorful design, or use piping bags for more intricate details.

Notes
- Use room-temperature ingredients: Make sure the butter, eggs, and milk are at room temperature before you start mixing. This helps the ingredients blend together more smoothly and results in a fluffier cake.
- Don’t overmix the batter: Overmixing can lead to a dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined, and you’ll have a light, airy texture.
- Customize your frosting: Feel free to adjust the colors to match your preferred Minecraft block theme, or create a multi-colored cake for added fun!
- Cool the cake completely: Ensure the cake is fully cooled before frosting, as warm cake can cause the frosting to melt and slide off.
- Get creative with decorations: You can use fondant or edible markers for more intricate Minecraft details, such as crafting blocks, animals, or other game features!
