Ingredients
For the cake:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
For the glaze:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 3-4 tablespoons milk
- A few drops of food coloring (preferably blue or purple)
- Edible glitter dust (for that extra magical touch!)
Instructions
Step 1: Preparing the Cake Batter
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a round cake pan, ensuring it is large enough to accommodate the entire batter.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is well incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until all the ingredients are well combined and the batter is smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 2: Creating the Luminescent Glaze
While the cake is baking, it’s time to prepare the magical glaze that will give your dessert its ethereal glow. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the powdered sugar and milk. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and has a pourable consistency.
Add a few drops of blue or purple food coloring to the glaze and continue whisking until you achieve the desired color. Be careful not to add too much coloring, as it might overpower the magical effect.
Step 3: Unleashing the Magic
Once the cake has finished baking and has cooled slightly, transfer it to a serving plate. Drizzle the luminescent glaze over the entire cake, allowing it to drip down the sides, creating a mesmerizing effect reminiscent of a night sky.
For an additional touch of enchantment, sprinkle edible glitter dust over the glazed cake. Watch as it catches the light, replicating the starry brilliance of the Wye Hill sky.

Indulging in a slice of Wye Hill Luminous Beings is like embarking on a culinary adventure through a magical realm. From the moment your fork sinks into the luminous glaze, to the first bite of the moist and flavorful cake, you’ll be transported into a world filled with wonder and delight.
