Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a cake pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  5. Divide the batter into two bowls. Color one bowl with black food coloring and the other with purple food coloring.
  6. Pour the black and purple batters into the cake pan, alternating between the colors to create a marbled effect.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely.
  8. Once the cake has cooled, frost with whipped cream and decorate with Halloween-themed sprinkles and spooky cake toppers.
