Notes
How to Make Spooky Halloween Cake
To make this spooky Halloween cake, start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing and flouring a cake pan. In a bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, baking powder, and sugar. In a separate bowl, beat the butter and eggs together until light and creamy. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the butter and egg mixture, ensuring everything is well combined.
Next, add the vanilla extract and milk, stirring until the batter is smooth. To make it festive for Halloween, divide the batter into two equal portions. Add black food coloring to one portion and orange food coloring to the other, stirring each to achieve vibrant colors.
Now comes the fun part—layering the batter. Pour the black batter into the cake pan, and then carefully spoon the orange batter on top, creating a marbled effect. Swirl the two colors together using a knife to get a spooky mix of black and orange. Bake for around 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
Once the cake has cooled, frost it with whipped cream to create a soft and creamy base. For added spookiness, decorate the top with chocolate sprinkles or any other Halloween-themed toppings, such as edible eyes or mini plastic spiders. Serve and enjoy your spook-tacular Halloween treat!
