Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour one 9-inch square pan.
- 2
Stir sugar, 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Add milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract; beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until the batter is smooth. Beat in 1/2 cup boiling water. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Invert onto a wire rack and cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- 4
Cut the marzipan into 3 equal pieces. Add varying amounts of green food coloring to each piece to create different shades of green. Knead each piece separately to evenly incorporate the food coloring.
- 5
Dust a flat work surface with 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar. Roll each piece of marzipan into a thin rectangle. Cut into equal-sized squares.
- 6
Combine 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar and 1 tablespoon water in a shallow dish; stir, adding more water if needed, until the mixture is the consistency of cream.
- 7
Dip the back of a marzipan square in the confectioners' sugar mixture and place it on the outer edge of the cake. Arrange the remaining squares, alternating the 3 shades of green, randomly over the cake from the outer edges to the center. Leave 3 squares of chocolate cake exposed in the center for the Creeper's eyes and mouth. Cut into the marzipan on either side of the mouth to create its characteristic shape.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
