Pour batter into prepared bundt pan and bake in a preheated oven at 170°C for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick tester comes out clean.
When cooled completely then we cut the top of the cake to level it. For The Blood Glaze
In a large bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and red food coloring. If desired, add more red food coloring for a deeper color. The consistency of the glaze should be thick enough that it’s not too drippy (so add the milk a little at a time) but liquid enough that it will fall down the cake.
On a large plate and then keep the wire rack on top. Place the bundt cake on it.

Pour the glaze in a piping bag and drizzle the glaze on top of the bundt. Let the glaze harden before slicing it. So let it set.
BundtBakers is a group of Bundt loving bakers who get together once a month to bake Bundts with a common ingredient or theme. You can see all our lovely Bundts by following our Pinterest board. We take turns hosting each month and choosing the theme/ingredient.
This month Simply Inspired Meals is hosting Spooky Bundt Cakes. She asked the group to make any cake that had some element that made it spooky.
This wonderful group is administered by Stacy of Food Lust People Love. Updated links for all of our past events and more information about #BundtBakers, can be found on our home page.Spooky Bundts

It's hard to use enough red food coloring to get a bright red without affecting the taste. I think the pink blood is spooky enough.
