This recipe as it's written makes a batter more like frosting. I put it in the pan and couldn't even get it to spread out, it just stayed where ever it was moved to. I quickly added several blobs of butter - at 3/4 of a stick and baked it for 35 minutes. The taste is ok, but it's VERY dry.
This is such a good cake, you can make it all year round, just changing the decoration for the season.
Instead of ghosts, snowmen would be great and then this would be a good recipe throughout the winter! Yum!
The parents at our PTA meeting loved this cake. the taste was wonderfull. Wanted the recipe for their party on Saturday. I will make this again. thanks for recipe.
I just ran across this recipe and even though it's April I made it for my mother-n-laws birthday anyway. This cake is "TOO GOOD" to have only one season a year. I made it as a sheet cake and used the Carrot cake mix (omitted the halloween toppings-just did plain icing). Topped with birthday candles and served it at my mother-n-laws birthday gathering. Everyone loved it and I got request for the recipe. Spoke with my mother-in-law later that night on the phone, and she said Great Grandaddy had just finished a third piece. Made it three times now, everytime I've used the Carrot cake mix.
So refreshing, fun, and yummy
I can't say enough about it. I simply love it! We don't just make it at halloween, we jazz it up with different things. Like carrots on top for garnish, or coconut sometimes just to be different.
