18+ 3 Layer Vanilla Halloween Cake Recipe Red You Must Try Them!

Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

2 cups granulated sugar

4 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 cup buttermilk

Red food coloring

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour the cake pans, then line the bottoms with parchment paper.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

3. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

4. Gradually add the flour mixture into the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined.

5. Add in enough red food coloring to achieve your desired shade of red. Keep in mind that the color will deepen as the cake bakes.

6. Divide the batter evenly between the three prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

7. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove them from the pans and cool completely on a wire rack.

Assembly

1. Place one layer of the cake on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread a layer of your favorite vanilla frosting on top.

2. Repeat with the remaining two layers, making sure to frost the top and sides of the cake as well.

3. For a spooky touch, you can add some Halloween-themed decorations such as plastic spiders or gummy worms on top of the cake.

4. Slice and serve your delicious Halloween cake to impress your guests!
