A spooky and fun Halloween-themed cake with a haunted forest design.
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Preheating ensures even baking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix until smooth.
Mix thoroughly to avoid lumps in the batter.
Grease and flour a 13x9-inch baking pan.
This prevents the cake from sticking to the pan.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Check the cake a few minutes before the recommended time to avoid overbaking.
Let the cake cool completely in the pan.
Cooling prevents the frosting from melting.
Spread vanilla frosting evenly over the cooled cake.
Use an offset spatula for a smooth finish.
Crumble the chocolate cookies and sprinkle them over the frosting to resemble dirt.
Press lightly to ensure the crumbs stick to the frosting.
Use the black gel frosting to draw spooky designs on the ghost-shaped marshmallows.
Get creative with your designs for a unique touch.
Arrange the decorated marshmallows on the cake to create a haunted forest scene.
Place them strategically for the best visual effect.
