     This Harry Potter Cake is a replica of Harry's birthday cake from the   
     movie, with pink and green frosting and moist vegan chocolate cake!   
        
     In a small bowl, whisk together the soy milk and apple cider vinegar.   
     Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes until curdled.   
        
     In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cane sugar, flour, cocoa   
     powder, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Add the soy milk   
     mixture, applesauce, oil, and vanilla extract.   
        
     Mix boiling water and instant coffee in a small bowl until dissolved.   
     Immediately pour into the batter.   
        
     Using an electric mixer, beat the batter on medium speed for 2 minutes   
     until fully combined. Scrape down the sides and stir once more by   
     hand to ensure everything is incorporated.   
        
     Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans.   
        
     Bake for 27 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center   
     comes out clean.   
        
     Let cakes cool in the pans on a wire rack for 30 to 60 minutes.   
        
     Run a butter knife around the edges, then carefully turn out and let   
     them cool completely on the wire rack.   
        
     Frost and Decorate:   
        
     Tint most of the frosting light pink. Use beet powder or plant-based   
     pink food coloring.   
        
     Reserve a small portion of frosting and color it green for piping the   
     message.   
        
     Place one cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand.   
        
     Add a layer of pink frosting over the first cake.   
        
     Top with the second cake layer and apply a layer of pink frosting   
     over the top and sides. Don't worry about it being smooth--it should   
     look like the homemade cake Hagrid gave Harry.   
        
     Use a piping bag with a small round tip (or a ziplock bag with a   
     snipped corner) filled with green frosting to write: "Happee Birthdae   
     Harry"   
        
     Preheat oven to 350?F (180?C).   
        
     Grease and flour two 9" (23 cm) round cake pans, and line the bottoms   
     with parchment paper circles to prevent sticking.
