SPOOKY CHOCOLATE TRES LECHES CAKE
A tres leches cake is a sponge cake with three different kinds of milk poured over top that get absorbed (hence the name sponge). This version gets spooked up thanks to the addition of black cocoa, which gets its darker color from being heavily Dutched (neutralized to be less acidic). Some think it is a little milder in chocolate flavor than natural cocoa powder. It is used here because it makes the cake stark black without relying on food coloring. Topped with ghosts made from a simple Swiss meringue, this cake is perfect for a Halloween celebration.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8-inch round cake pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- For the cake: Sift the flour, black cocoa, baking powder and salt into a medium bowl. Combine the eggs, sugar and vanilla in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium-high speed until very light yellow and fluffy, about 10 minutes (really!). Reduce the speed to low and slowly add half of the flour mixture, then all the buttermilk and finally the remaining flour mixture, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top and bake until the cake springs back when touched lightly and a toothpick or cake tester comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 30 minutes. Keep the cake in the pan and place on a plate that's larger than the pan.
- Whisk the heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk in a large liquid measuring cup or medium bowl until smooth. Poke a lot of holes all over the cake using a wooden skewer. Slowly pour 1/3 of the milk mixture over the cake, letting most of it get absorbed before pouring more. Repeat this step twice more until the milk mixture is gone. Cover the pan and refrigerate until the milk is completely soaked in (you will see some residual milk on the top and a little on the sides), about 6 hours, up to overnight.
- Invert the cake onto a large rimmed plate that can hold the excess soaking liquid. Pour the excess liquid into a container with a spout and set aside. Carefully invert the cake, domed-side up, onto a cake stand or platter. Drizzle with the reserved soaking liquid. Decorate the platter with Halloween sprinkles, if desired.
- Make the Swiss meringue: Just before serving, bring a few inches of water to a boil in a saucepan that can hold a heatproof stand mixer's bowl above the water, but not touching the water.
- Whisk the sugar, egg whites, vanilla and salt in the stand mixer bowl. Set the bowl above the boiling water and continue to whisk constantly until the sugar has dissolved and the egg whites are slightly frothy, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to the stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat at medium-high speed until the meringue is cool and can hold very stiff peaks, about 6 minutes.
- Transfer the meringue to a pastry bag fitted with a large round piping tip (see Cook's Note). Pipe 2- to-3-inch mounds all around the cake rim and in the middle, leaving a pointy tip at the top of each for the ghost head, about 14 total. Using tweezers or your fingers, add 2 mini chocolate chips, pointed-side out, to each face for the eyes; and 1 chip, pointed-side in, for the mouth.

- In a pot add the milk, the heavy cream, the sweetened condensed milk, and transfer over low heat until the mixture comes to a boil. Stir frequently so that it doesn’t catch on the bottom of the pot. Remove from the heat and add the chocolate into pieces. Allow 10 seconds for the chocolate to get hot, and then stir until it melts completely. Set aside to cool well.
- Preheat the oven to 160ο C (320ο F) set to fan. In a mixer’s bowl add the butter, the sugar, and beat with the whisk attachment at high speed, for 5-6 minutes, until very fluffy. Add 2 tablespoons of the flour, and then add the eggs one by one. Wait for each one to be incorporated before adding the next. Add the vanilla and keep beating. In a bowl add the rest of the flour, the baking powder, the salt, the cocoa powder, and mix. Transfer to the mixer’s bowl and beat everything together for 10 seconds until the ingredients are homogenized. Transfer to a butter 20 cm cake pan lined with parchment paper, and bake for 1 hour. Prick the whole surface of the cake, and while it is still hot, pour the syrup over its whole surface using a ladle. Let the whole syrup be absorbed, grate the chocolate, and serve.

- For the cake, adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9X13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Whisk flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt together in the baking pan.
- Make 1 large and 2 small craters in dry ingredients. Add oil to large crater and vinegar and vanilla separately to remaining small craters. Pour water into pan and mix until just a few streaks of flour remain. Use a rubber spatula to spread the batter evenly in the pan if it isn’t level after mixing. Immediately put pan in oven.
- Bake until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, about 23-25 minutes. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan on a wire rack until cooled completely.
- Using a bamboo skewer or tines of a fork, poke holes all over the top of the cake. In a glass liquid measure or a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and the chocolate. Microwave for one minute and stir. If not completely melted and smooth, microwave for an additional 30 seconds until melted and smooth. Whisk in the evaporated milk and heavy cream (or half-and-half). The mixture will start out very, very thick. Don't worry! It will thin out as you whisk in the other milks.

- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8×8 inch pan with butter and set aside. In a measuring cup, whisk the hot coffee and butter until the butter melts, then set it aside until ready to use.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk and vanilla extract. Stir in the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, soda and salt. Once it’s about halfway mixed, pour in the coffee/butter mixture and stir until you have a smooth batter. Stir in the chopped chocolate. Pour the batter into the greased pan and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the cake is just set in the middle. Let cool completely.
- Once cool, poke the top of the cake with a fork – lots of holes for the delicious chocolate milk to stream into. Whisk together the condensed milk, evaporated milk and chocolate milk. Pour it over top (you can do it in batches) evenly and watch it sink into the cake. Refrigerate the cake for 30 to 60 minutes before serving. To serve, top with whipped cream (I like to use unsweetened whipped cream or coconut whipped cream since the cake is rich) and chocolate shavings. Keep the cake in the fridge!
