This hedgehog cake is going to look like the hedgehog is resting on its back, so we need remove the top layer from the dome of the cake. This flat surface will make it easier to stack and frost the cake layers (see pictures above). While the cake bakes and cools, make the chocolate peanut butter frosting.
This hedgehog cake is just as delicious as it is adorable! It’s made with moist chocolate cake and peanut butter and chocolate buttercream. Begin by preheating the oven to 350 F / 175 C. Grease an 8-inch domed cake pan with homemade cake release or non-stick baking spray and parchment paper.
If you want to make a standard / non-sculpted hedgehog layer cake, you can bake 3, 6-inch cake layers and add the same fondant features. Bake the layers for 25-30 minutes at 350 F / 175 C or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
