In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually add the milk to this mixture, blending until smooth. Now, slowly pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring gently until the batter is combined but still slightly lumpy. This moist batter is the secret to your delicious Harry Potter Cauldron Cakes! Enjoy this part and remember to have fun like Pheobe with her cookies!

Step 3: Fill the Cauldron Molds

Now it’s time to bring those lovely Harry Potter Cauldron Cakes to life! Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Using cauldron-shaped molds, fill each mold about three-quarters full with your prepared batter. Place them on a baking tray and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Your magical cakes will start to take shape!
