Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups whipped cream for frosting
  • 1 cup black decorating gel for ghost eyes

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until smooth and well-combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Once cooled, frost the cakes with whipped cream. Use black decorating gel to draw spooky ghost eyes on the top of the cake to complete the spooky ghost design.
