Ingredient
Crushed Oreo crumbs create a convincing soil effect that transforms this decadent dessert into a miniature cemetery. I love how the rich cocoa sponge interacts with the chilled chocolate pudding, ensuring every bite is moist and intensely chocolatey.
The secret to the texture lies in adding boiling water to the batter, which thins the mixture and blooms the cocoa for a deeper flavour. Once the frosting is spread, the real fun begins with the decorations. Pressing Milano cookies into the cake as tombstones and adding gummy worms adds a playful, tactile element that guests of all ages will enjoy.
Serving Tips
For the best results, keep the cake chilled until you are ready to serve. I recommend adding the ghost peeps and candy pumpkins just before the party to ensure the decorations stay crisp and upright for a truly impressive centrepiece.
