  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until no lumps remain.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients: melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth, then gradually add in the milk.
  3. Fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined. Avoid over-mixing.
  4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease cauldron-shaped molds.
  5. Fill molds three-quarters full with batter and bake for 20-25 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick.
  6. Allow cakes to cool in the molds for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Once cooled, frost the cakes generously with chocolate frosting, then sprinkle with edible glitter.
