Ingredients

• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) butter, melted
• 2 1/4 Cups cake flour
• 1 Cup white sugar
• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) baking powder
• 1 Cup buttermilk
• 3/4 Cup butter, melted
• 3 Whole eggs
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) vanilla extract
• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) orange food coloring powder
• 1/2 Cup cocoa powder
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) black food coloring powder

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®) with 2 tablespoons butter.
2. In a large bowl, mix the cake flour, white sugar, and baking powder. Beat in the buttermilk using an electric mixer. Add 3/4 cup butter and beat until fully incorporated. Mix in the eggs and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Pour 1/3 of the batter into a small bowl and mix in the orange food coloring.
4. Add the cocoa powder and black food coloring to the remaining batter in the large bowl. Mix well, scraping down the sides.
5. Pour the black batter into the prepared cake pan, then pour the orange batter on top. Rap the pan against the counter to release any air bubbles.
6. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes.
7. Allow the cake to cool for 15 minutes before removing it from the pan. Enjoy your Halloween-themed treat!
