Whether you’re hosting a Halloween party or just want to indulge in some festive baking, this guide will help you create a delicious and eerie treat that will impress your guests. So, grab your apron and let’s get started on making a hauntingly good Halloween cake!

What You’ll Need

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • Assorted Halloween-themed decorations (spiders, bats, etc.)
  • Black and orange food coloring
  • Buttercream frosting

The Steps

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.

Step 3: Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix on medium speed until well combined.

Step 4: Gradually add the boiling water while mixing on low speed. The batter will be thin, but that’s perfectly normal.

Step 5: Divide the batter equally between the prepared cake pans.

Step 6: Bake the cakes for approximately 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Step 8: While the cakes are cooling, prepare your buttercream frosting. Divide the frosting into two bowls and color one bowl black and the other orange using the food coloring.

Step 9: Once the cakes have cooled, trim the tops to create an even surface, if needed. Place one cake layer onto a serving plate and frost the top with the black buttercream. Add the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with the orange buttercream.

Step 10: Now it’s time to get creative! Decorate your Halloween cake with assorted Halloween-themed decorations such as spiders, bats, and anything else that gives it a spooky touch.

Step 11: Serve your spooky Halloween cake at your Halloween party or enjoy it with your friends and family!
