Can I use homemade frosting instead of store-bought?

Yes, homemade frosting works perfectly. A cream cheese glaze or cookies and cream frosting adds extra flavor and can be poured or spread over the cake.

Can I make this Halloween Bundt Cake in a different pan?

A bundt pan is best because the hollow center allows you to anchor the Rice Krispie Treats and Peeps. However, a 12-cup tube pan can also work if you don’t have a bundt pan.

Can I prepare this cake in advance for a party?

Yes, you can bake the cake a day ahead, wrap it tightly, and refrigerate it. Add the decorations closer to serving time to keep them fresh and vibrant.

Ingredients

1 box chocolate cake mix (15.25 ounces)
1 box chocolate fudge brownie mix (18.3 ounces)
4 large eggs
1 1/4 cups water
1 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tub chocolate frosting (16 ounces)
2 Rice Krispie Treats
1/2 cup Oreo cookie crumbs
15 pumpkin candies
3 ghost Peeps

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In a large bowl, combine chocolate cake mix and brownie mix, whisking until evenly blended.
Add eggs, water, oil, and sour cream to the mixture. Mix with a handheld or stand mixer until smooth.
Spray a bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray and pour in the batter.
Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with only a few crumbs.
Cool for 10 minutes, then loosen the edges with a knife and invert onto a cake plate to finish cooling.
Cut the Rice Krispie Treats to fit into the center of the cooled cake.
Remove foil from the frosting tub and microwave in 15-second intervals until pourable but not liquid. Pour over the top of the cake and center.
Sprinkle Oreo cookie crumbs over the center, covering the Rice Krispie Treats.
Skewer the ghost Peeps and insert them into the center of the cake.
Add candy pumpkins around the Peeps and the outer edge of the cake. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

Microwave frosting in short bursts; overheating will make it too runny.
Add black gel food coloring to frosting for a darker, spookier look.
If you can’t find ghost Peeps, substitute with Reese’s Pumpkins or homemade brownie bats.
Rice Krispie Treats should be cut to fit inside the bundt cake center to prevent tearing.
