Fall Chocolate Pumpkin Cakes
Chocolate
Cake
1 pkg. chocolate
cake mix
1/4 cup
vegetable oil
1 (2 cups) bag milk chocolate chips
1 small box instant chocolate pudding
2 eggs
1 1/4 cup water
Directions
Spray 2, six cupcake mini-fluted bundt pans generously
(or use a regular cupcake tin). Mix
chocolate cake ingredients together, stirring chocolate chips in last. Spoon batter into prepared pan, filling each
cake halfway. Bake at 350˙ for 17 minutes and let cool for about 5 minutes in
the pan. If you use a cupcake tin, reduce cooking time to 14 minutes. Invert onto a cooling rack or
wax paper and let cool completely.
Frosting:
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 tablespoons milk
2-3 cups powdered sugar
Orange food coloring
Mix together above ingredients until smooth. If frosting is too thick, add a little more milk. If it’s not thick enough, add more powdered
sugar.
After they have cooled, slice off the domed end so it
is flat.
Frost one mini cake on the flat side and put another mini
cake on top. Frost the entire pumpkin cake or
just the top and let the frosting drip down.
Decorate with fun sprinkles and sugars. Makes about 16 small bundt cakes
which equals 8 pumpkins (Each pumpkin takes
2 mini cakes).
For the stem you can use tootsie rolls, airheads,
small candy bars, or big pretzel sticks.
