As huge fans of the original Jumanji and its source material, we were initially hesitant when we heard there was going to be a new Jumanji film. However, after seeing trailers for Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, we actually got pretty excited. So much so, that we have created a new recipe for its release, Jumanji Jungle Cake!
In Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, “the tables are turned as four teenagers in detention are sucked into the world of Jumanji. When they discover an old video game console with a game they’ve never heard of, they are immediately thrust into the game’s jungle setting, into the bodies of their avatars, played by Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, and Karen Gillan. What they discover is that you don’t just play Jumanji – Jumanji plays you. They’ll have to go on the most dangerous adventure of their lives, or they’ll be stuck in the game forever.”

In Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, Kevin Hart portrays the avatar Franklin “Moose” Finnbar. This character’s number one weakness is cake. Who doesn’t love cake? The trailer also prominently features pound cake, so we decided to use that as our base. Additionally, we used other jungle/outdoorsy foods like bananas and granola. The result is a delicious cake with good flavors and textures! It is also customizeablein that you can definitely switch out the flavors of granola or substitute it for nuts.
After trying our Jumanji Jungle Cake, we’re sure you’re going to have a weakness for cake like Kevin Hart’s character! Now for the part you’ve been waiting for! We are giving away three pairs of screening passes for an advanced showing of Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle! The showing will be held at Harkins Scottsdale 101 on Monday, December 18th. The screening starts at 7 pm and the winners should arrive at 6:15 in order to guarantee their seating. Winners will be selected on Sunday, December 17th. Good luck!

This would be a cute dessert to have the night we go see the new Jumanji movie coming out this year. Saving to surprise the kids with it!
This looks like a totally fun cake. I think it would make a great brunch item as well as dessert.
Cute idea, I was the same, a little hesitant when i saw they were remaking but it looks like it might be a great movie!
YUM looks delicious.
What a fabulously simple dessert idea-)
I was actually afraid of the original Jumanji as a kid because of the giant spiders, and I don’t think I have watched it since. The cake looks delicious though!
What a fun recipe! Also, you made me want to rewatch the movie 🙂
This looks delicious! What a fun recipe 🙂
I did hear there was a new jumanji film coming out, can’t believe it’s with Kevin Hart, that guy is awesome. 😀
Your jumanji cakes sounds like so much fun and it’s definitely a dessert the whole family would enjoy.
Oh wow. What a great idea! I just saw the previews for Jumanji yesterday. I can’t wait to watch the movie. Your recipe sounds super easy and delicious! I loved how you made it look outdoorsy.
This is so creative! I can’t wait to see the movie. If I had kids, this would be the perfect thing to make before/after seeing it.
Jumanji is one of my favorite movies! Every time it comes on TV I watch it. I’m definitely going to see the new one, because I love The Rock and Kevin Hart 🙂 But also, cause I just love Jumanji
I greatly enjoyed Jumanji when I was younger. I’m still a little hesitant about the new one but will for sure be seeing it -probably not in theaters though. My husband is a huge fan of The Rock, so there’s that too. Haha. This Jumanji cake likes like a nice little treat!
OMG YUM! Such a creative recipe idea!!
This is awesome! I love Jumanji!
My kids can’t wait to see this movie – they will love the jungle inspired cake!
What a great idea for getting the kids excited to see the new Jumanji movie!
My kids are waiting to watch the movie. The cake looks delicious and super easy to make .
Love this idea, easy and delicious with different textures. Great!
OK, I must admit… (read this in 8 point) I’ve never seen Jumanji. I know, I know… where have I been. Guess I better get on it… and make this cake while I’m at it. It looks delicious!
Awww this recipe comes in handy coz I bought too many bananas! And look what I can do with them now 😀 I can’t wait to watch Jumanji 😉
