Halloween Cake Recipes
If You're Searching For An Easy Halloween Cake Recipe, You've Just Found It
Halloween cake recipes are extra special. They are very easy to make, and the moist, delicious Halloween cakes are perfect for serving to guests at informal Halloween parties or to share with your family as you snuggle up to watch the lovable Peanut gang in the classic animation film "It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown."
Kids love watching that Charlie Brown movie every year, and they'll love your cake too! "The Great Pumpkin Cake" that's featured is especially delicious when served with homemade ice cream, while the Halloween Poke Cake can be suitably decorated to impress guests at any friendly Halloween get-together.
Halloween Cake RecipesThese Halloween recipes are adapted from old recipes previously published in vintage cookbooks and magazines.
The Great Pumpkin Cake Recipe1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
3 eggs
1 cup white sugar
4 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 (18+ ounce) package yellow cake mix
3/4 cup butter, melted
1-1/2 cups chopped walnuts
In a large mixing bowl combine pumpkin, milk, eggs, sugar, and spice. Pour combined mixture into your greased 9 x 13 inch baking pan. Sprinkle the dry cake mix over top of the mixture -- sprinkle, but do NOT stir. Drizzle melted butter over it all and top it off with a handful or two of chopped walnuts. Bake for 1 hour at 350°F, or until a toothpick comes out of center clean.
Best served unfrosted with a big scoop of your favorite vanilla ice cream on the side. However, your kids might want to eat it with a big scoop of orange tiger-tail ice cream.
Halloween Poke Cake Recipe3 ounces orange Jello® mix
3/4 cup boiling water
1/2 cup cold water
1 package white cake mix, any brand
Dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Add cold water and stir until mixed, then set aside until ready to use. Prepare your cake following the package directions for a 13 x 9 inch cake pan.
After baking, let the cake cool for some time. Using a meat fork or a skewer "poke" holes to the bottom of the cake about an inch apart. You can poke the holes at random or in a set pattern, it's up to you. Now pour the liquid orange gelatin into the holes so it soaks into the cake. Allow cake to chill so that the gelatin sets.
This recipe can be altered for other holidays and themes as well by changing the flavor (color) of gelatin and-or adding appropriate food coloring to the frosting.
Halloween Cake Decorating & Cake Topping1-1/2 cups cold milk
1 small package instant vanilla pudding mix, any brand
1 envelope whipped topping, any brand
1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
1 handful of candy corn
Beat together the topping ingredients until stiff peaks begin to form, add orange food coloring if desired (or a combination of red and yellow). Frost your Halloween cake and generously sprinkle with candy corn for decoration.
Candy corn is a popular Halloween candy sold in the U.S. and Canada around Halloween time. If you're unable to find it in stores, or if it's not sold in your country, you can either substitute your favorite candy treat or make it yourself using the
