Sneha's Recipe: Candy Eyes

A super fun and easy Halloween Monster Bundt Cake! All you need is a few ingredients to make this fun Monster Bundt Cake and most important is candy eyeballs which are homemade! I have used my Homemade Chocolate Cake.

2 Teaspoons Vanilla Essence
200 ML Warm Coffee

2 Teaspoons Lemon Juice or White Vinegar

Method
For The Homemade Chocolate Cake Mix

Whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.

Store in an airtight container in a cool dry place for up to 3 months or until ready to use.
When Ready To Bake
Preheat oven to 170°C. Prepare two 8-inch round cake pans or a 10 cup Bundt mold.

Whisk butter milk, oil, eggs, coffee and vanilla in a large bowl until well mixed and slightly frothy.
Add the dry mix and whisk until just barely combined and smooth (do not over mix). This is a liquidy batter.

Pour cake batter in a well greased Bundt pan. Bake 60 - 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean (baking time depends on the pan size).

Allow to cool completely then invert onto a plate.

For The White Icing /Glaze

Make the icing in a large bowl. Divide frosting into three/four bowls and add a different color of food coloring to each.
Add color to the glaze by mixing in a few drops of food coloring.

Place each icing in a piping bag and cut a tiny hole in one of the corners. Drizzle frosting over the cake. Repeat with remaining colors.

For Homemade Candy Eyeballs

Melt the white and dark chocolate as required. Pour this into a small piping. Take a plastic sheet, pipe the white dots, when it cools place a dark chocolate dot on top. Let this cool completely. With a tooth pick make a black dot on top of the dark chocolate.
My suggestion the black dot remains wet even after a day of drying, so mix it with the dark chocolate and then make a black dot. When I was placing the eyes on the cake the black color smudges.

Add eyeballs all over the cake immediately after adding the frosting.

Serve and Enjoy!
