A fun Halloween cake recipe

This Black Velvet Cake is the perfect treat for Halloween. It’s got a spooky look, while also being super cute and super delicious

Ingredients

I always suggest using exactly what a recipe calls for, especially when baking. You will need unsalted butter, grapeseed oil, milk, black cocoa powder, and sprinkles.

Butter and Sugar

First you'll want to whip together the sugar and butter until it is light and fluffy. Then add your oil, eggs, and vanilla and combine.

Mix and Combine

In a separate bowl, mix together all dry ingredients. Go back and fourth mixing the dry ingredients and milk until well combined. Pour into 3 separate cake pans and bake.

Frosting Step 1

Whip the butter with a paddle attachment for about 2 minutes. Then add in cream cheese and continue to whip for an additional 6 minutes on a medium speed.

Frosting Step 2

Next add in the powdered sugar and cocoa powder slowly to keep it from flying everywhere or clumping. Mix until light and fluffy. Use immediately.

Assembling the Cake

Allow the cakes to cool. Slice off the domed tops of the cakes. Layer each cake with frosting in between the layers. Finally, coat entire cake with frosting and decorations!

Enjoy!

This cake is the perfect yummy addition to your Halloween festivities and can be done up in so many ways. Serve and enjoy!
