This Orange and Black Halloween Cake recipe uses four boxes of cake mix (yellow, chocolate, orange, and white) along with orange and black food coloring. The process involves preparing the mixes with less water for a thicker batter, coloring the yellow and white batters, layering them in a greased and floured bundt or round pan, baking, cooling, and decorating with Halloween-themed toppings.
Ingredients
Equipment
- Bundt pan or round cake pan
- Mixing bowls
- Food coloring
- Toothpick
Directions
- Mix each of the four cake boxes following the package directions, but reduce the amount of water called for so the batter turns out thicker.
- Split the yellow batter in half and stir in orange food coloring until it reaches a bright, festive hue.
- Take the white batter and mix in black food coloring until it becomes a rich, dark shade.
- Coat a bundt pan or a large round cake pan with grease and flour.
- Pour the orange and black batters into the prepared pan, switching between the two colors to form a marbled or striped pattern.
- Bake the cake using the time and temperature from the box directions, checking if it is done by inserting a toothpick.
- Allow the cake to rest in the pan for 10 minutes before flipping it onto a wire rack to cool fully.
- Finish the cake with any Halloween decorations you like, such as themed frosting, sprinkles, or candy.
