Description
A festive and colorful Halloween Bundt Cake topped with rich chocolate ganache and sprinkles, perfect for the Halloween season.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (15.25 oz) Golden Butter cake mix
- 7 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon purple gel food color
- 1/2 teaspoon green gel food color
- 1/2 teaspoon orange gel food color
- 1 cup bittersweet chocolate
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- Halloween colored sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° F. Prepare a bundt pan (10 cup) by spraying with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the dry cake mix, melted butter, whole milk, and eggs. Beat with an electric hand mixer, on medium speed, for at least 2-3 minutes until well combined.
- Separate the cake batter into three separate bowls.
- Add the purple gel food color to one bowl and stir until the color is incorporated. Repeat with the green and orange gel food coloring.
- Randomly drop spoonfuls of each color, alternating between the three colors, into the prepared bundt pan.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the top middle comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the warm bundt pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a cooling rack to finish cooling.
- When the Bundt Cake is completely cooled, prepare the chocolate ganache topping.
- Put the bittersweet chocolate into a glass mixing bowl or glass measuring cup.
- Add the heavy cream to a small saucepan over medium-low heat, and bring to a simmer.
- Remove from heat and immediately pour the hot cream over the bittersweet chocolate. Let it sit for 3 minutes.
- After 3 minutes, whisk until combined and smooth.
- Pour the ganache over the cake and decorate with sprinkles while the ganache is still wet. Allow the ganache to set before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the cake is completely cool before adding the ganache to prevent it from melting.
- You can use any combination of food colors to match your Halloween theme.
- This cake can be made a day in advance and stored in a cool place.
