Ingredients
Gather the following ingredients to create this incredible Halloween Surprise Cake:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup milk
- 3 ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp salt
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup Halloween-themed candy (like gummy bears, marshmallows, or chocolate)
- Food coloring (orange and black)
- Frosting (store-bought or homemade, your choice!)
Instructions
Follow these steps to create your own stunning Halloween Surprise Cake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then add the milk and vanilla extract, and stir until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- If you’d like to add color, divide the batter into two bowls and mix in your food coloring until you achieve your desired shades.
- Now, gently fold in your Halloween-themed candy into the batter, ensuring that they are evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cakes are completely cool, frost the top of one layer with your frosting, then carefully place the second layer on top. Frost the top and sides of the cake for a polished look.
- Decorate the cake with additional Halloween-themed candy or sprinkles for that spooky touch!
Serve this Halloween Surprise Cake at your party and watch your guests’ faces light up with delight. Happy baking!
