Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large Eggs
• 1/2 cup Milk
• 1 1/2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• A few drops Orange food coloring
• A few drops Black food coloring
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 1-2 tablespoons Water
• As needed for decoration Sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms.
5. Divide the batter into two bowls. Add orange food coloring to one bowl and black food coloring to the other, stirring until the colors are vibrant.
6. Pour the orange batter into the prepared cake pan, then drizzle the black batter on top. Use a toothpick or knife to gently swirl the colors for a marbled effect.
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely in the pan.
8. While the cake is cooling, make the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar with 1-2 tablespoons of water until smooth. Add a few drops of orange food coloring for a spooky touch.
9. Once the cake is cool, drizzle the glaze over the top. Add Halloween-themed sprinkles if desired for extra fun and decoration.
10. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before slicing and serving your spooky Halloween cake!
