Pumpkin Bunt Cake

I know I’ve been a little pumpkin crazy and Fall JUST started. It’s felt a lot like fall for the last few weeks though since I’ve been waking up to chilly mornings, ending the day with cold evenings. A slice of cake always makes these things better, right? And a cake that looks like a pumpkin?! It doesn’t get much better than this!

Pumpkin Bunt Cake

Cake Ingredients:
– 2 Boxes of Chocolate Cake of your choice
– Eggs (however many the box chocolate cake calls for)
– Vegetable oil
– Green ice-cream cone

Don’f forget the Bunt Cake Pan

Icing Ingredients:
– 1 ½ c. of Powdered Sugar
– 1 tsp. of Vanilla Extract
– 3 tbsp. of water (as needed to reach desired consistency)
– Orange food coloring (as needed to reach desired color)

 

Instructions:
1.  Mix your chocolate cake ingredients as directed on the box.

2.  Once the batter is made, pour in the batter into 2 bunt cake molds.

3.  Bake both bunt cakes as directed on the box.
4.  Once your cakes are baked, let them cool off and then take them out of the mold.

5.  You may need to trim the bottom of your cakes so that you have a nice height once you stack them on top of each other.

6.  On a platter or display dish, put first bunt cake upside-down, and the 2^nd bunt cake place it upright. This while form a “Pumpkin” shape.
7.  Mix the icing ingredients on a bowl. (Add water as needed to reach desired consistency, as well with the food coloring, just add enough to reach the orange color you want).
8.  Pour the icing on top of the cake, and then place the green ice-cream cone in the middle of the bunt cake! If the middle opening is too big to hold the ice-cream cone, you may use a tall shot glass in the middle and stack your ice-cream cone on it to make it stand nice & tall. I added 2 plastic fall leaves as decoration but that is complete optional!
