A delightful dessert that captures the spirit of Halloween with its soft, cake-like texture and playful ghostly decorations.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 4 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for icing)
  • Black decorating gel or chocolate chips (for eyes)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  4. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract for the icing until smooth.
  10. Drizzle the icing over the cooled cake and decorate with black gel or chocolate chips for the eyes.

Notes

Ensure butter is at room temperature for easier creaming. Don’t rush the cooling process before icing the cake.
