Halloween Pumpkin-Shaped Cake
Twice the batter for any cake recipe
(or 2 packages of cake mix, prepared)
Twice any white frosting recipe
(or 2 cans white frosting)
Food colouring
1 Hostess Ho-Ho® (or similar cake-roll snack item)
1. Pre-heat the oven to 350F
2. Wipe and core the apples then peel off the top third
of the skin
3. Arrange the apples in an ovenproof dish and add the
water around them
4. Fill the apple cavities with demerara sugar then add
a knob of butter on top
5. Place the dish in the pre-heated oven and cook for
about 35-40
minutes or until apples are soft
6. Serve apples topped with whipped cream and a
sprinkling of currants
Prepare two cakes in bundt pans and cool completely.
Color most of the frosting a deep orange, reserving
about 1/2 cup, which should be colored black (or use
dark chocolate fudge frosting).
Place one bundt cake upside down (rounded side on
the bottom) on a cake plate; frost the top only. Place
the second bundt cake flat-side down on top of first
cake. Frost the entire cake with orange frosting,
making up and down motions with spatula to simulate
a pumpkin.
Insert the Ho-Ho® in the middle of the top of the bundt
cake to make the stem. Use black frosting to make
eyes, nose, mouth, etc. (Or use candies, gum drops,
jelly beans, black rope liquorice -- be creative!) |
