Description
A whimsical Halloween cake designed to look like a graveyard, featuring layers of moist chocolate cake, creamy chocolate frosting, crushed Oreo ‘soil,’ and chocolate finger ‘gravestones’.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup water
- 1 jar chocolate frosting
- 1 package Oreo cookies
- 1 package chocolate fingers candy
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a mixing bowl, combine chocolate cake mix, eggs, oil, and water. Mix until smooth.
- Pour batter into prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool completely.
- Place one cake layer on a serving platter and frost generously with chocolate frosting. Add the second layer on top and frost the entire cake.
- Crush Oreo cookies in a plastic bag until they resemble dirt and sprinkle over the frosted cake.
- Insert chocolate fingers around the top edge to create gravestone decorations.
- For extra flair, add gummy worms or spiders on top before serving.
Notes
Ensure the cakes are completely cool before frosting to prevent melting. Use an offset spatula for a smooth frosting finish.
