Cake:
1 box white cake mix (I used Betty Crocker)
1 cup water (or milk)
1/2 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
3 eggs
Green food coloring
Orange food coloring
Purple food coloring
Frosting:
2 cups butter, room temperature
7 cups confectioners sugar
1 cup cocoa powder
1 tbsp vanilla extract
Black food coloring
Spiderweb:
5 Jumbo marshmallows
Combine all cake ingredients. Divide batter evenly between three bowls and add food coloring to each bowl and mix well.
Spray and line bottom of three 6 inch cake pans with parchment paper. Pour batter into each pan. Bake in a 325°F oven for 26 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool to room temperature then slice off the tops to level.
Frosting:
Beat butter until light and fluffy then add sugar and cocoa powder. Mix together until fully incorporated then add vanilla and black food coloring. Mix until the color is fully incorporated. Add more food coloring as needed.
Stack and frost each layer of your cake then refrigerate to set the frosting.
Spiderweb effect:
Place marshmallows on a disposable plate and microwave for 25 seconds until soft. Using your hands (wearing gloves for easy cleanup) press marshmallows together, then spread your hands apart creating a web effect then spread around you cake.
Add optional decorative spiders.
