Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Butter
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 1 tbsp Black food coloring
  • 1 tbsp Purple food coloring
  • 1 tbsp Orange food coloring
  • 1 cup Whipped cream

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a cake pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
  3. Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until well combined and smooth.
  4. Divide the batter into three bowls. Color one batch with black food coloring, another with purple food coloring, and the last with orange food coloring.
  5. Layer the colored batters into the cake pan, alternating between black, purple, and orange layers. Swirl the batters together to create a marbled effect.
  6. Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely.
  7. Once cooled, frost the cake with whipped cream and decorate with Halloween-themed sprinkles or edible decorations.
