Pumpkin Spice Haunted House Bundt Cake

Cake:

• 3 cups flour
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• 1 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 cup sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 1/2 cup canola oil
• 1 15 oz can pumpkin (about 2 cups)
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tsp vanilla

Optional:

• Marshmallow fluff for webbing
• Halloween candies for decoration

For Halloween Display:

• Mini chocolate chips for around the Haunted Manor
• Sugar in the Raw for front “dirt”
• Sliced almonds for stepping stones

Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare Haunted Manor Bundt with baking spray containing flour and use a pastry brush to evenly coat all the details of the pan.

In a bowl, combine flour, baking soda, spices and salt. Set aside. Using a mixer, blend sugars, oil and pumpkin. Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Slowly add flour mixture, milk and vanilla and mix until blended. Pour batter into prepared pan, filling only 3/4 full. Gently tap pan on counter top to remove air bubbles. Note, there will be leftover batter. Bake extra muffins or mini cakes!

Bake Bundt for 70-80 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean. Check cake at 70 minutes and add more time if needed from there. Let cake cool in pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a cooling grid.
