This cake is easy to do. Just frost the three layers and decorate the top with Marshmallow Ghost. Use black candles for an added touch.

Ingredients
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, plus more for pans
- 2/3 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder, sifted, plus more for pans
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole milk
- Icing:
- Make enough for one 6-inch 3-layer cake
- 16 ounces cream cheese, room
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter three 6-inch round cake pans. Dust with cocoa powder, and tap out excess; set aside. Alternatively, line six mini muffin tins with paper liners.
- Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Put butter and sugar into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing until combined after each addition. Mix in vanilla.
- Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture in three batches, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined. Divide batter evenly among pans (about 2 cups batter per pan) or lined muffin cups (about 1 tablespoon batter per cup).
- Bake until a cake tester inserted into centers comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes for cake layers and 14 to 16 minutes for mini cupcakes. Let cool in pans or muffin tins on a wire rack. Decorate as desired.
- Makes three 6-inch layers or about 6 dozen mini cupcakes
- Vanilla Cream Cheese Icing Directions:
- Put cream cheese and sugar into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, 5 to 7 minutes. Use immediately.
- To Make Ghost:
- Take big Jet Puff Marshmallows and stack them. Using some of the icing to glue them together. For the smaller Ghost use mini marshmallows. Toothpicks can be used..but it is safer to use the frosting.
- I chilled my cake covered in the refrigerator to keep little hands off it.
