This spooky Matcha Monster Bundt Cake will leave you feeling like all eyes are on you!
This recipe finds us combining together a moist, yet rich chocolate bundt cake with a creamy Matcha buttercream frosting. But the real Halloween kick here is the decoration, dozens of little tiny monster eyes! For this eye-raising treat we have used a Japanese Culinary Grade Matcha to obtain the fun and vibrant monster green color. This recipe would be frightfully fun to serve to guests in a coffee shop or pastry shop setting, displayed in a glass cake stand for all your customers to see and salivate over.
Bundt Cake:
Ingredients:
- Butter, for greasing the pan
- 2 ½ cups All-purpose flour, plus more for dusting the pan
- 1 ¾ cup sugar
- 1 ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ⅔ cup brewed coffee, cooled
- ½ cup unrefined coconut oil
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 4 ounces semi sweet chocolate, chopped
- ⅓ cup coconut milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350*F. Grease a 10 to 12 cup bundt cake pan with butter, dust with flour, tapping out an excess.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat the coffee, coconut oil, cocoa powder, semisweet chocolate, and coconut milk. Stir frequently until the chocolate is melted and a smooth sauce is made, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Fold the chocolate mixture into the flour mixture until smooth and combined.
- Fold in the vanilla extract and eggs until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 to 55 minutes.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 to 15 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack. Allow to cool completely, about 1 to 2 hours.
- Once the cake has cooled, you can coat the cake in the Matcha Buttercream. It does not need to be perfectly smooth, this is a monster after all!
- After the Matcha buttercream has been applied, start to add your monster eye candy all over the cake. The more eyes the better!
- Store the cake in an airtight container to keep fresh and enjoy!
