Ingredients You'll Need
For the Cake:
Two cups all-purpose flour
Three-fourth cup unsweetened cocoa powder
One teaspoon baking soda
One and a half teaspoons baking powder
One teaspoon salt
Two eggs, at room temperature
One cup milk
Half cup vegetable oil
One and a half cups granulated sugar
Two teaspoons vanilla extract
One cup hot water
For the Frosting:
One and a half cups unsalted butter, at room temperature
Four cups powdered sugar
Half cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Two teaspoons vanilla extract
Two tablespoons heavy cream
Orange food coloring
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or cooking spray.
Step 2: Make the Cake Batter
In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, sugar, and vanilla extract together until well combined. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until the batter is smooth. Stir in the hot water until fully incorporated.
Step 3: Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before frosting.
Step 4: Make the Frosting
In a large bowl, beat the butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract, beating until well combined. Stir in the heavy cream until the frosting reaches your desired consistency. Add in a few drops of orange food coloring and mix until the frosting is a spooky orange color.
Step 5: Decorate the Cake
Once the cake is completely cooled, slice it in half horizontally to create two layers. Spread a layer of frosting on the bottom layer and place the top layer on top. Use the remaining frosting to cover the entire cake, smoothing it out with a spatula. For a fun and festive touch, use black icing to create a spiderweb design on the top of the cake.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!
Slice and serve your delicious chocolate Halloween cake to your family and friends. They'll be impressed by both the flavor and design of this spooky treat. Happy Halloween!
