Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Assorted food coloring gels
  • Assorted candy and sprinkles for decorating

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat together the vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, until smooth.
  4. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely.
  5. To make the frosting, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until smooth and fluffy.
  6. Divide the frosting into separate bowls and tint each with different food coloring gels to create a variety of vibrant colors.
  7. Place one cake layer on a serving platter and spread a layer of frosting on top. Repeat with the remaining layers, then frost the sides of the cake.
  8. Decorate the cake with assorted candy and sprinkles to create a fun and festive "monster" appearance.
