First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare two 9-inch round cake pans by greasing them with butter and dusting them with flour. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix until well combined. Add in the vanilla extract and a few drops of green food coloring to achieve a vibrant green color.
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool completely before removing them from the pans.
While the cakes are cooling, prepare the frosting by creaming together the butter, powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Add in a few drops of purple food coloring to achieve a deep purple color.
Once the cakes have cooled, level the tops using a serrated knife. Place one cake layer on a cake stand or serving platter and spread a layer of frosting on top. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining frosting.
To make the witch hat decorations, roll out the black fondant to ¼ inch thickness and cut out witch hat shapes using a cookie cutter. Roll out the purple fondant and cut out thin strips to create the hat bands. Attach the strips to the hats using a small amount of water. Place the hats on top of the cake and decorate with black, purple, and green sprinkles and candy eyes.
And there you have it - a spooky and delicious Halloween witch cake that will impress all your guests! This witch cake recipe is not only visually impressive but also tastes amazing.
