Easy Halloween Chocolate Pumpkin Cake

If you are celebrating Halloween and you are searching for an easy and quick dessert, here is an awesome idea that I am glad to share with you, a Spiderweb Cake – an Easy Halloween Chocolate Pumpkin Cake. This Halloween cake consists of a moist chocolaty pumpkin cake, topped with chocolate ganache and decorated with a white chocolate spider web. The cake is bursting with fall flavors due to the spice mix used to flavor the cake. The chocolate and pumpkin spice are a great combo and I highly recommend trying this Chocolate Pumpkin Cake this season.

The recipe is easy, the preparing of the cake batter takes no more than 15 minutes, then you need to bake and cool, cover in ganache and voila:) Your Halloween cake is ready. Hope you will enjoy this Spiderweb Cake as much as we did:).

    This was SO delicious!! I followed your exact recipe and I don’t think it was too thick at all. It was nice and creamy and the flavors were great! My husband ate two bowlfuls and wanted more. We had plenty for leftovers. Thanks–this is a keeper!
