Here’s my recipe for Bowser’s Big Donuts from Mario and Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story. They’re big enough for Bowser, but you can easily share this massive donut cake with friends. Watch it in action here.

For Big Donut:

• 4 eggs
  
• ½ cup sugar, separated
  
• 3 TBL canola oil
  
• ½ cup milk
  
• 1 cup flour
  
• 1 tsp baking powder
  
• ¼ tsp salt
  

For mirror glaze:

Gelatin starter:

• 2 TBL water
  
• ½ TBL gelatin
  

The rest:

• ½ cup dutch process cocoa
  
• 1/3 cup water
  
• ½ cup sugar
  
• 2 TBL butter
  
• 2 TBL dark chocolate
  
• Edible glitter, optional
  
• Sugar sprinkles, to decorate
  

1. For Big Donut: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Separate eggs. Place whites and egg yolks in separate bowls. Add ½ of your sugar to the bowl with the egg yolks. Whisk until thick and light in color. Whisk in oil until totally combined. Then, whisk in milk, flour, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
   
2. In a separate bowl with a clean whisk, begin to whisk egg whites. Once soft peaks are formed, add remaining sugar and whisk until you have still, marshmallow-y peaks. Add 1/3 of the egg white mixture to your yolk mixture. Whisk it in, you don’t have to be super careful. Then, add your lightened mixture into the rest of the egg whites. Fold carefully until combined.
   
3. Carefully pour batter into a donut-shaped pan that’s on top of a baking sheet about 1 inch away from the top. The rest of your batter you can pour into cupcake cups and bake off. Place cake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely upside down.
   
4. For glaze: Soak gelatin in water. Set aside. In a small bowl, combine water, butter, sugar, and cocoa powder. Cook over low heat and whisk to combine. Bring it to a boil, then quickly turn off the heat. Add gelatin mixture and dark chocolate. Mix until melted. Add in your glitter dust if you want. Continue to mix as it cools. It will thicken after about ten minutes into a pouring texture.
   
5. Carefully pour glaze over cake. Then, sprinkle on as much sugar sprinkles as you want. Allow the glaze to set for about five minutes. Slice and serve.
