Bewitched Marble Cake
This gorgeous marble Bewitched Marble Cake is perfect for a Halloween party and so very easy to make. We have all the directions you’ll need to make it yourself.
Halloween is such a fun time of year, but we get tired of all the orange and black. Last Halloween we found fun green, purple, and black sprinkles, and our Bewitched Series was born. This year we added this fun Bewitched Cake. Everyone will be impressed when you slice open this cake and they see the gorgeous green, purple, and chocolate swirls inside of this bewitching cake.
How to Make the Cake Batter
Step 1: The first step is to make up your cake batter according to the directions on the box. We used a white cake mix and then split the batter into three bowls.
Step 2: To color the white cake batter we used Wilton Color Right Food Coloring. For the purple cake batter, we used 4 drops of pink and 2 drops of blue and for the bright green cake batter, we used 2 drops of yellow and 2 drops of blue. For the third bowl of batter, we added 2 tablespoons of Cocoa Powder to make chocolate.
How to Create the Marble Effect
Step 3: Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray and then begin spooning in cake batter in a random pattern, layering as you go. You don’t have to worry about making a specific pattern but we’d suggest trying to use an equal amount of each of the colored batters.
Step 4: This is the pan after we finished layering in the colored cake batters. This is approximately three different layers of the batter in this pan. We baked the cake in a slightly lower temperature oven (325 degrees) for approximately 40 minutes. Check often at the end of the baking cycle and test for doneness with a wooden toothpick.
How to Make the Frosting
Step 5: To decorate the cake we used our Best Buttercream Frosting Recipe. So easy to make and super delicious. You can find all the directions to make it here. You will need a single batch to cover the cake.
Step 6: We colored the Buttercream Frosting Bewitched Purple by using 4 drops of pink and 2 drops of blue Wilton Color Right food coloring
How to Decorate the Halloween Cake
Step 7: Spoon the purple frosting onto the cake.
Step 8: Use a knife or a spreader to frosted the cake.
Step 9: Finally, we topped our Bewitched Cake with some homemade sprinkles that match the Purple, Green, and Black colors from the cake! This is super easy to do and really makes your desserts look special! We have all the directions you’ll need to make your own sprinkles right here.
Step 10: Here is the inside of the baked Bewitched Cake – the marbling effect is so pretty! We love how this cake turned out! It’s one of our most favorite Halloween desserts that we have made. It is so colorful and pretty and tasted great too. The chocolate cake mixed with the white cake is surprisingly yummy. Your family will love this Bewitched Marble Cake this Halloween!
