Ingredients
Traybake cake
- 250 g softened butter
- 250 g caster sugar
- 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 Medium eggs
- 250 g self-raising flour
- 2 Tablespoons milk
- Orange food colouring (start with a small amount then add more as needed)
- Purple food colouring
Black frosting
- 70 g softened butter
- 300 g icing sugar
- 1-2 Tablespoons milk
- 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
- black food colouring
Decoration
- Homemade white chocolate ghosts
- Halloween cake decorations and/or sprinkles (I used Cake Decor Halloween spooky mix sprinkles and Dr. Oetker chocolate Halloween decorations)
Instructions
Traybake cake
- Preheat your oven to 180℃ (160℃ for fan ovens). Line an 8x10-inch tin with baking paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Mix in the eggs and flour, a little bit at a time, until you have a smooth cake batter. Add the milk as needed to loosen the batter.
- Divide the cake batter into two bowls. Stir the orange food colouring into one and the purple food colouring into the other.
- Place spoonfuls of cake batter into your tin, alternating the colours as you go. Then use a toothpick to briefly swirl them together (but not too much).
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Don't worry if the colours look a little faded- they'll still be super vibrant when you cut into the cake.
- Let the cake cool in the tin for around 10 minutes then flip it out onto a wire rack and leave to cool completely.
Frosting
- Add the butter to a bowl and mix in the icing sugar a little bit at a time, using the milk to loosen it as needed.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and black food colouring.
- Spread the frosting over your cooled traybake cake. Top with white chocolate ghosts and other edible Halloween decorations.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
