Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, mix cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, eggs, water and oil. Mix until combined.
  2. Stir in mini chocolate chips and pour into a well-greased bundt pan.
  3. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  4. Let cool for 20 minutes. Remove from pan, cover with plastic wrap and let refrigerate for 1-2 hours, or overnight.

For the Frosting

  1. In a large bowl, mix cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add vanilla.
  2. Gradually add in powdered sugar while stirring. If it looks too thin (stiff peaks do not form), add more powdered sugar. If it looks too thick add 2 tablespoons of milk.
  3. Divide the frosting in half. Use half of the frosting to lightly frost the whole cake. Save about a tablespoon of white frosting for the fangs.
  4. To the other half, add ⅓ cup dark cocoa powder and black food coloring and mix until the frosting turns black.
  5. Then, put the black frosting and in a gallon Ziplock bag, snip off the end and pipe 8 spider “legs” going from the center to the edges.
  6. Fill in the middle to make the spider “body” and a little dollop for the head.
  7. Use the extra of the white frosting to pipe little fangs.
  8. Finally, place 2 Red Hots above the fangs for the eyes.
