Halloween Cake

Ingredients

• 250 g soft butter (for the baking frame)
• 250 g sugar
• 5 eggs
• 1 pinch of salt
• 2 tsp Baking powder
• 500 g flour
• 150 ml milk
• 60 g red currant jam
• 1 tbsp clear apple juice

Instructions

1. 1.

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) with top and bottom heat. Place the baking frame on a sheet lined with parchment paper and butter it.

2. 2.

   Beat the soft butter until fluffy. Alternately fold in sugar and eggs, then add salt. Gradually mix in baking powder, flour, and milk, stirring briskly until a smooth, spreadable dough forms. Pour into the prepared frame, level the surface, and bake for about 50 minutes (test with a skewer).

3. 3.

   Remove from oven and let cool.

4. 4.

   Warm the jam in a small pot with apple juice. Remove the frame and pierce the cake 30–40 times with a skewer. Fill a syringe or squeeze bottle with the jam, cut a small hole, and fill the pierced holes.

5. 5.

   When cutting, "blood" will drip from the cake.
