How to Make a Spooky Halloween Birthday Cake
Making a spooky Halloween birthday cake is a fun way to celebrate both a birthday and the Halloween season. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing your cake pan. In a mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients: flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and milk. Combine the wet and dry ingredients until they form a smooth batter.
Next, divide the batter into two bowls and color one bowl with black food coloring and the other with purple food coloring. This creates the perfect spooky color scheme for Halloween! Pour the two batters into the cake pan, alternating between black and purple to create a marbled effect.
Bake the cake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.
Once the cake is cool, spread whipped cream over the top and decorate it with Halloween-themed sprinkles and spooky cake toppers. You can even add mini plastic spiders, a haunted house figurine, or edible eyeballs to complete the Halloween vibe.
This cake will be a hit at your Halloween birthday party or any Halloween-themed gathering. It’s colorful, festive, and full of flavor, making it the perfect centerpiece for your celebration!
