Preparation

First, your minis break the chocolate into pieces, and together you melt it slowly over low heat in a bain-marie. Set the melted chocolate aside to cool slightly.

Preheat the oven to 175°C (top/bottom heat).

Beat the margarine with a hand mixer until creamy. Gradually add half of the sugar, the vanilla sugar, salt, and the slightly cooled melted chocolate, mixing until combined into a smooth batter.

Separate four of the eggs, setting the egg whites aside. Add the egg yolks and the remaining two whole eggs to the batter, and beat for at least 3 minutes.

Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder into the batter, then mix on low speed until incorporated.

Beat the egg whites with the remaining sugar on high speed until stiff peaks form — make sure the beaters are completely clean for this step. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter.

Pour the batter into a greased Bundt pan and place on the middle rack of the preheated oven. Bake for about 40–45 minutes. Test for doneness with a toothpick.

Once baked, place the Bundt cake in the pan on a cooling rack for 10 minutes. After that, carefully invert onto the rack and allow to cool completely.

We decorated our Bundt cake with dark chocolate and purple-black Halloween sprinkles. But it also tastes fantastic simply dusted with powdered sugar!

Folded bat cake toppers for Halloween

Want to know how quickly you can turn your favorite sponge cake into a Halloween cake? We’ll show you now.

For Halloween, we decorate our chocolate Bundt cake with several “fluttery” cake toppers. Small folded bats will adorn our chocolate Bundt cake for the spooky ghost party.

This simple but striking Halloween cake topper will transform your cake into something truly special for the occasion.

Using the DIY template for the fluttery little bats , trace them onto nice paper and fold along the dotted lines. Then, attach the folded bats to a skewer or paper straw with glue or washi tape — and your bat cake toppers are ready for your Halloween cake! (Find more DIY templates here!)

If your minis and you are looking for more Halloween inspiration, I recommend our “Halloween” category! There you’ll find treats like our Halloweentastic Pumpkin Pie with pumpkin face, crunchy spider cakepops , crispy spider cake pops, and much more!
