Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter (softened)
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp milk
- Yellow and orange food coloring

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
- Cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add to the butter mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Spread the batter into the prepared baking dish evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Make the glaze by mixing powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Color half with yellow and the other half with orange.
- Decorate by drizzling colored glazes over the cooled cake and adding candy corn on top.
Notes
Ensure butter and eggs are at room temperature for better incorporation. Avoid over-mixing for a tender cake.
