How To Make a Festive Halloween Bundt Cake

Step One: Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9in 12 C bundt pan with pam baking spray.

Step Two: Using a large bowl and hand beater, beat the cake mix, eggs, milk, and butter until combined and smooth. Divide the cake batter into two bowls.

Mix in about 4-7 drops of red gel food coloring into one of the cake mix bowls. Pour about ¼ of the none colored cake batter into the bundt pan.

Drop dollops of the red cake batter on top of the other batter and swirl lightly with a butterknife. Pour another ¼ of the none colored batter on top of the other batter. Drop more dollops of the red cake batter on top and swirl some more.

Repeat until all the batter has been combined into the bundt pan 

Step Three: Bake in the oven for 25-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow cooling in the bundt pan for 15 minutes before flipping over onto a flat serving platter.

Step Four: Using a small pot, bring the 1 ½ C heavy whipping cream to a rolling simmer. Whisk in a few drops of the red gel food coloring and whisk until combined.

Add in a few more drops of red to get the correct shade of red for blood. Pour the hot, heavy whipping cream over the 3 C white chocolate chips and let sit for a few minutes before whisking until smooth.

Allow cooling for about 10 minutes while occasionally whisking to avoid crusting on top.

Step Five: Once the cake has cooled completely, pour about ¾ of the red, white chocolate ganache into the center opening of the bundt cake.

Carefully and slowly place the stroopwafel over the center of the bundt cake. Allow the red ganache to set for about 10 more minutes.

Using a small pot, bring the 1 C of heavy whipping cream to a rolling simmer and pour over the dark chocolate chips.

Step Six: Allow to sit for 5 minutes before whisking until smooth. Pour the chocolate ganache over the entire cake, making sure the center is completely covered. Reheat the leftover red chocolate ganache and mix after every 15 seconds until the ganache is thin and runny.

Using a fork, dip it into the red ganache, and doing a flick motion with your wrist, create a splatter look all over the cake. 

Allow to set for 15 minutes before enjoying.

Storing Leftovers

This fun monster bundt cake makes more than enough leftovers! Just be sure to store once the cake cool and add to a airtight container. You can store it at room temperature or place it in the fridge.

Substitutions or Variations To Recipe
