This is my idea of the Minecraft Cake. Minecraft origins from Sweden. A traditional cake from here would be "pannkakstårta"(Translation=pancake cake ) If you look it up it as reasonably similarity to the Minecraft Cake. In Sweden we would then take traditional Swedish Pancakes layer them with any local berries jam and cream sugar etc. So each layer would be a pancake sugar, cream and jam. On top of the cake should be a cream layer with fresh strawberrys. This is what i allways thought the Minecraft Cake was. Which is also why i think the receipe is closer to a pancake then a cake.

Thank you for NOT using fondant for the frosting, though it would have made the frosting a lot easier to decorate. I love how you used the basic game ratios for the original cake. I've always loved seeing people try to make this recipe. Thank you for trying your hand at it!

Suggestion, try whipping the eggs and sugar together at the start, to a creamy state, then add the flour. And bake it in the oven, before using some heavy cream (is essentially milk based :P ) to make whipping cream with a touch of sugar to use as the frosting part.
