Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large Eggs

• 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. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.

4. 4

   Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms.

5. 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. 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. 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. 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. 9

   Once the cake is cool, drizzle the glaze over the top. Add Halloween-themed sprinkles if desired for extra fun and decoration.

    Let the glaze set for a few minutes before slicing and serving your spooky Halloween cake!
