Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease your baking pan.
  2. Cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy; add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  3. In another bowl, sift together self-raising flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture alternately with milk and vanilla extract until just combined.
  4. Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan. Bake for about 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow cooling completely before assembling.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat softened salted butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar while mixing on low speed until well combined. Stir in vanilla extract and adjust consistency with milk if needed. Add electric green food coloring to reach your desired shade.
  6. Crumble cooled chocolate cake into pieces. Layer crumbled cake followed by green buttercream in your jar containers. Repeat layers until jars are filled, finishing with a layer of frosting on top.
  7. Use orange and black fondant to create witch legs or other spooky decorations. Top off with sprinkles for an extra festive touch!
