Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Monster Halloween Bundt Cake
  1. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the wet ingredients: eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and warm water. Mix until well combined, then gradually add them to the dry mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  3. Pour the cake batter into a well-greased bundt pan and preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  4. Once baked, let the cake cool for about 10 minutes on a wire rack, then carefully invert the pan to release the cake.
  5. Prepare the creamy frosting by melting butter, then combine it with powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Add vanilla extract.
  6. Pour the icing over the cooled cake, letting it flow down the sides. Decorate with your favorite festive toppings.
  7. Slice the cake and serve at your Halloween gathering.
