Method
 

Baking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a bundt pan by greasing and dusting with flour.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, water, oil, and eggs until smooth. This takes about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Divide the batter evenly into four bowls and tint each with a different gel food color.
  4. Layer the batters into the bundt pan starting with green, followed by black, purple, and then orange.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Cool the cake in the pan for 15-20 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack.
  7. Warm the frosting in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to make it pourable and tint with remaining gel colors.
  8. Drizzle the frostings over the cake and sprinkle with Halloween-themed sprinkles.

Notes

Ensure the cake is completely cool before frosting to maintain shape. Use a toothpick to test for doneness.
