Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 large eggs
- 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Green food coloring
- Purple food coloring
- 4 cups powdered sugar (for frosting)
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
- 2 tablespoons milk (for frosting)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
- Large candy eyes (for decoration)
- Colorful sprinkles (for decoration)
Instructions
- Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined.
- Divide the batter into two bowls, adding green food coloring to one and purple to the other.
- Pour the green batter into one prepared cake pan and the purple batter into another.
- Bake in a preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
- Once cool, place one layer on a cake stand, spread green frosting on top, and place the second layer on top.
- Frost the entire cake with purple frosting and decorate with green frosting for monster teeth, candy eyes, and colorful sprinkles.
Notes
- Be careful not to overmix the batter to keep the cake light and fluffy.
- Always let the cake cool completely before frosting to avoid melting.
- Feel free to customize with additional decorations and flavors.
