@travislondonhome: A Halloween cake should have a little drama… and this Black Velvet Cake understood the assignment. 🖤🎃 It's a red velvet cake gone dark: rich, moody, and just spooky enough to become the centerpiece of the table. Perfect for Halloween parties, fall baking, or anytime you want an easy cake recipe that feels a little more dramatic. 🕯️✨ INGREDIENTS Cake - 2 cups (265g) all-purpose flour - 1⅔ cups (340g) granulated sugar - ⅔ cup (80g) black cocoa powder - 2 tsp baking soda - 1 tsp baking powder - ½ tsp salt - ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil - 2 large eggs, room temperature - 1½ tsp pure vanilla extract - 1 cup (240ml) full-fat buttermilk, room temperature - 1 cup (240ml) hot coffee or hot water Frosting - 2 cups (452g) unsalted butter, room temperature - 5 cups (600g) powdered sugar - 1 cup (112g) black cocoa powder - 4 tbsp whole milk, room temperature - 2 tsp pure vanilla extract - ¼ tsp salt (or to taste) DIRECTIONS 1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line three 6-inch or two 8-inch pans. 2. Mix flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. 3. Add oil, eggs, vanilla, and buttermilk. Mix, then slowly add hot coffee. Beat on medium 2 min; batter will be thin. 4. Divide into pans, filling about ⅔ full. Bake 32–36 min, until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely. 5. Beat butter 4 min until fluffy. Add half the powdered sugar, then the rest. 6. Sift in cocoa. Add vanilla, milk, and salt; mix on low 2 min until smooth. 7. Level cakes if needed. Stack and fill with buttercream. Apply a thin crumb coat, chill 20–30 min, then finish frosting. #HalloweenCake #BlackVelvetCake #HalloweenDesserts #HalloweenRecipes #FallBaking
