How to Make the Spooky Cake
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing two 9-inch cake pans. In a large bowl, mix 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of sugar, and 2 teaspoons of baking powder together. In a separate bowl, beat 3 eggs and add 1/2 cup of melted butter, 1 cup of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth.
Next, combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms. Divide the batter evenly into three bowls. To create the spooky colors, add black food coloring to one bowl, green food coloring to the second, and orange food coloring to the third.
Once the batters are colored, carefully layer the different colored batters into the prepared cake pans. Alternate the colors to create a marbled effect. Once layered, bake the cakes for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely.
While the cakes are cooling, prepare a frosting by mixing powdered sugar with a little milk. You can also tint the frosting with orange food coloring to match the Halloween theme. Frost the cake and decorate it with spooky toppers such as edible ghosts or candy pumpkins. This spooky cake is now ready to be enjoyed at your Halloween gathering!
