3) Ingredients for Witches Brew Halloween Cake

Chocolate Cake Mix: You can use any store brand or name brand. Devil’s food adds extra depth if you like it rich.

Water: It helps mix everything together. Cold or room temp is fine.

Vegetable Oil: Adds moisture to the cake. Canola works too.

Eggs: You’ll need three large ones. Let them sit at room temp for easier mixing.

Neon Green Frosting: This is where the magic kicks in. If you can’t find green frosting, use white and add green gel food coloring.

Candy Eyeballs: These give the cake that spooky charm. Your kids will fight over who gets the slices with the most eyeballs.

Halloween Sprinkles (Optional): Go wild here. Purple, orange, black—throw them on. It makes the cake extra fun and colorful.

4) How to Make Witches Brew Halloween Cake

Step 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan. No parchment needed—this cake is chill like that.

Step 2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Use a hand mixer or whisk it old-school. Stir until smooth, about two minutes.

Step 3. Pour the batter into your greased baking pan. Tap the pan gently to even it out.

Step 4. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean.

Step 5. Let the cake cool completely in the pan. You want it cool enough not to melt the frosting.

Step 6. Spread the neon green frosting all over the top. Be generous. It’s Halloween. Weird is welcome.

Step 7. Decorate with candy eyeballs and sprinkles. No need for perfection. The messier it looks, the better it feels. Slice and serve when you’re ready to wow the room.

5) Tips for Making Witches Brew Halloween Cake

If your green frosting isn’t loud enough, amp it up with a drop of food coloring. Just one or two drops is usually all it takes. Mix well.

Don’t skip the cooling step. Warm cake and cold frosting don’t play nice together. You’ll end up with a drippy mess—unless you like that sort of chaos.

Let your kids help with decorating. The more eyeballs, the better. And if they place ten in one spot, let them. It’s Halloween. Embrace the silliness.

6) Making Witches Brew Halloween Cake Ahead of Time

This cake is great when made the night before. The flavors stay put and the frosting holds up just fine in the fridge.

If you’re prepping ahead, hold off on adding the eyeballs and sprinkles until just before serving. That way, the decorations don’t melt or run.

Cover the cooled, frosted cake with plastic wrap or a cake lid and store it in the fridge. When party time rolls around, just decorate and slice. No stress.

7) Storing Leftover Witches Brew Halloween Cake

Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to four days. Wrap the pan tightly with foil or transfer slices to an airtight container.

The cake stays soft and the frosting sets a little firmer, which honestly makes the second-day slices even better.

Just don’t freeze it. The frosting doesn’t handle thawing all that well. Save freezing for another dessert.
