Black and Orange Bundt Cake (for Halloween or Bengals fans)

Even if you aren’t a football fan or specifically a Cincinnati Bengals fan (like me) this cake is still super fun! First of all the orange and black works well for Halloween so it does double duty for us in the month of October. And my daughter loved the cake so much that she’s already planning ahead to her birthday in March and is requesting this cake remade in white and black zebra stripes. You could tint that orange vanilla cake any color you want. The possibilities are endless.

The cake is so simple even though it’s made from scratch. Once the batter is made the stripes are made by alternating the batter in the pan with muffin scoops like THESE. One scoop of black followed by one scoop of orange. Keep alternating until the batter is all in the pan. That’s it!
