Hayao Miyazaki fans will be happy to find that this version perfectly matches the beloved character’s blank expression.

Spirited Away cake has a vanilla filling

In an Instagram story, Chantel shared that this delectable treat combines black sesame paste, ground black sesame, and sesame oil in a batter.

Afterward, she cut the end of the roll for a clean finish.

Shortly after, a white chocolate plaque that perfectly captured the spirit’s expression was added to the end of the roll.
