Colorful Halloween Bundt Cake Recipe
This colorful Halloween Bundt cake is so easy to make and turns out beautiful. It is perfect for a Halloween party!
I am all about simple recipes and this one meets that criteria.
The recipe calls for making a white cake mix with the box instructions, divide it into 3 bowls, add different colors to each bowl, layer in the Bundt pan, and bake! That easy! Plus use canned frosting, do the same with the colors and add sprinkles
It turns out looking great, inside and out, with not too much effort.

Detailed Steps to Make the Colorful Halloween Bundt Cake Recipe
The first step is to preheat the oven to the required temperature on the cake mix box. Then make the white cake mix as directed on the box. The cake mix I used (Betty Crocker, Super Moist) required the cake mix, 3 eggs, 3/4 cup water and 1/2 cup vegetable oil.
Divide the mix into 3 bowls. I found each bowl took about 1 cup each.
Use food coloring to add color to each separate bowl, orange, green and purple. I mixed yellow/red for orange, blue/yellow for green, and red/blue for purple and used trial and error to get the desired color. Neon food colorings would work well.
Layer each color into a greased Bundt pan. I started with orange, then green, then purple. They will naturally layer on top of one another. Do not mix the batter.
Bake the cake according to the instructions on the box. The cake mix I used required 325 degrees and the Bundt cake required 36 to 41 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick and making sure it comes out clean.
Let the cake cool, then turn out onto a plate. Let the cake cool completely before starting to add icing.
Divide the can of white frosting into 3 bowls, then add food coloring to make orange, green and purple
Heat each bowl of frosting for 5-10 seconds until frosting is thin and falls off a spoon. Take a spoon and drizzle one colored frosting over top of cake with a back and forth motion, letting the icing fall over the sides of the cake.
This is how mine looked after first layer of all 3 colors
Alternate between colors to get desired look. I added more icing and then sprinkles
Enjoy
Enjoy this fun, colorful, beautiful, easy and delicious Halloween Bundt cake! It is so pretty inside and out!
