SPIDER WEB HALLOWEEN CAKE RECIPE
Ingredients
3 Cups | 375g Flour
⅔ Cups | 85g Cocoa Powder
1 tsp Baking Soda
½ tsp Salt
2 Sticks | 1 Cup | 225g Butter
2 Cups | 400g White Granulated Sugar
4 Eggs
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 Cup | 250ml Buttermilk
1 Cup | 250ml Hot Coffee
2 Cups Buttercream
1 tsp Black Gel Colouring
⅓ Cup | 40g Cocoa Powder
1 Cup White Marshmallows
Instructions
In a medium sized mixing bowl sieve together the dry ingredients.
In a larger mixing bowl mix together the butter and sugar until combined. Add the vanilla and mix again. Crack in all 4 eggs and mix until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl.
Pour the dry ingredients and the buttermilk and coffee into the larger mixing bowl with the butter mixture and use a wooden spoon to fold the ingredients together until well combined.
Divide the batter between two 6 inch or one 8 inch lined and greased cake tin and bake in a 160C | 320F oven for 40-50 mins or until the cake springs back when pressed.
To decorate the cake add the black colouring and cocoa powder to the buttercream and mix until combined. Level and cut each cake in half so you have 4 layers and place ⅓ Cup of buttercream between each layer. Use the remaining buttercream to cover the outside of the cake. Place into the fridge for 2 hours to set.
Place the marshmallows into the microwave for 30 second intervals until completely melted. Use clean and dry hands to stretch the marshmallow between your hands and drape over the cake. Continue until you are happy with the amount of marshmallow. Press the fake spiders around the cake.
Let the marshmallow set for an hour before serving.

Polka Dot Surprise Spider Cake for Halloween
This cute polka dot surprise spider cake would be awesome for a kid's Halloween party.
Spider cupcake video:
Cake balls:
One white cake mix prepared according to package directions (add oil, egg white, water).
Food colour: neon green (or a combo of leaf green and yellow), purple,orange.
I say in the video to divide the batter evenly between three bowls. You can do this, but you would be better off putting more in two bowls and a bit less in the third. You only need about 5 purple cake balls to make spiders (5 balls divided into two makes ten spiders, plenty for this cake).
Fill a greased twenty count cake ball maker with batter and bake at 350F until done (15-20 minutes). You will need 20 orange cake balls and 20 green cake balls for inside the cake and 5 orange cake balls and 5 green cake balls for the spiders (they will be cut in half).
Main Cake:
1 package white cake mix (DO NOT prepare according to box directions).
1 package 3oz, four serving size grape Jello
4 eggs
3/4 cups milk or water
3/4 oil
Purple food colour.
Combine the cake mix with the eggs, milk/water and oil. Stir in grape jello. Mix until smooth and not more cake mix white bits can be seen. Stir in enough purple food colour to get the shade you want.
Place 1/2 of the batter into two greased 9 pans (1/4 of the batter in each).
Place ten orange cake balls and ten green cake balls in each pan, arranging them so that they are evenly spread around.
Cover the balls with the remaining batter. The balls will most likely stick out of the batter, but that's okay.
Bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes until cake batter tests done.
Cool for 10-15 minutes in pans and then remove to wire racks to cool completely.
Trim tops of cakes if they are domed.
FROSTING:
1 1/2 cups butter room temp.
4 cups powdered sugar
1 tbsp milk
2 tsp vanilla
Orange and black food colour.
Whip butter until fluffy. Blend in powdered sugar a little at a time.
Beat in vanilla extract. Add the tablespoon of milk a little at a time, blending and adding milk until frosting is a good spreadable texture (not too thick, not too thin).
If you are making your own black frosting, remove 1/4 cup of white frosting and tint it black.
Mix orange food colour into the white frosting until you get your desired shade.
SPIDERS:
2 tbsp light corn syrup mixed with 1/4 tsp orange extract.
Orange, light green and purple decorating sugar
Take a cake ball and cut in half. Brush top with the corn syrup mixture using a pastry brush or new paintbrush. Dip coated tops into the coloured sugar. Set aside. DON'T bother attaching eyes at this point.
Put one cake half on a plate, top with about 1/3 of the orange frosting. Spread until even. Top with second cake layer. Frost entire cake with remaining orange frosting.
Decorate the cake with the black frosting to make the web (like shown in video)
Attach spiders to frosting by gently pressing them into the frosting.
Attach eyes using black or orange frosting.
Cake decorating idea was found in a Woman's World magazine.
