The cake itself is actually vegan if you use granulated sugar, dairy-free milk and chia eggs. The strawberry jam “blood” wouldn’t pop on brown frosting as much as it does on white. I haven’t tried it but I don’t think it’d look as impressive with chocolate frosting. Love the eyeball idea but don’t want a cake or cupcakes? Try this fruity, no sugar added Halloween punch with eyeballs! It can be made with or without rum. It’s just fruit, jam, nut / seed butter and nuts and seeds. If you have a smaller family or want a healthier option, these healthy Halloween monster mouths are really fun to make with kids and there’s nothing bad in them. For the people with large households, this is for you! It’s so cool that I’m still going to share it. I just now realized that it’s kind of pointless to post a full-sized cake recipe like this for Halloween this year. They also use strawberry jam in place of food coloring! )įor another gory Halloween dessert recipe, check out my witch finger cookies.

Just make sure to get out the large lumps of strawberries, unless you want a blood clot effect. :D Or you can use my homemade strawberry jam. So get yourself a jar of strawberry jam and go crazy this Halloween. Then you put them on your frosted cake and add a bit of strawberry jam on top to give it a blood effect. Stick in a blueberry and the eyeballs are done! You can get canned lychees at Asian food shops. They’re one of the really gross and fun food recipes you can make for Halloween without food coloring or other processed stuff. See the notes section of the recipe for more info! If you live outside of North America, you most probably don’t have the same kind of cream cheese that’s found in the US (and maybe Canada?). I also used this frosting recipe on this gluten-free carrot cake (which can also be made with regular or whole wheat flour!).Īnd if you’re worried about not using the usual amount of sugar, just add more powdered sugar until you’re happy with the sweetness. The frosting tastes really similar to cream cheese tart filling. It uses a lot less sugar than regular frosting but I’m confident that you won’t miss it!

On top of the best chocolate cake ever, we have some healthier cream cheese frosting. You can use whatever type of oil you’d like.You can use regular sugar, coconut sugar or honey.You can make it with eggs or with chia eggs.You can use regular flour, whole wheat or gluten-free flour.It’s my whole wheat chocolate cupcakes recipe (but you can use regular, whole wheat or GF flour for this Halloween cake recipe), which was adapted from Hershey’s One Bowl Chocolate Cake.įor the cake part, you can make a classic non-healthy version or a healthier version.
