Ingredients

Scale
  • 330 g self raising flour
  • 360 g granulated sugar
  • 360 g butter (salted)
  • 6 eggs
  • 30 g unsweetened black cocoa powder
  • 1½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 90 ml milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 400 g powdered sugar (icing sugar)
  • 1¼ tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp milk or cream (optional)
  • Electric green food coloring (a few drops)
  • 250 g Orange fondant
  • 200 g Black fondant
  • 1 tbsp CMC powder
  • Sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  3. Combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in another bowl. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture while alternating with milk. Mix until just combined. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the batter into prepared baking sheets or pans. Bake for about 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let it cool completely before assembling.
  5. In a large bowl, beat together salted butter and powdered sugar using an electric mixer until creamy. Add vanilla extract and mix well. If your frosting is too thick, add milk or cream gradually until you reach desired consistency. Mix in electric green food coloring until you achieve your preferred shade.
  6. Crumble cooled chocolate cake into small pieces. Layer crumbled cake at the bottom of each jar, followed by a layer of green buttercream. Repeat layering until you reach the top of each jar, finishing with buttercream.
  7. Top off each jar with sprinkles and cute fondant witch legs to complete your Witches Brew Halloween Cake Jars!
