Why Make This Recipe

Spiderweb Cake is a fun dessert, perfect for Halloween or any spooky celebration. It combines rich chocolate cake with a fluffy marshmallow filling and a glossy chocolate ganache. The best part? It turns a simple cake into a delightful treat that will impress both kids and adults. It’s easy to make and adds a festive touch to any occasion.

How to Make Spiderweb Cake

Ingredients:

1 box chocolate cake, plus ingredients called for
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
7 1/2 oz. jar marshmallow creme
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Pinch of kosher salt
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 tube store-bought vanilla icing

Directions:

Butter and flour two 9-inch cake pans.
Prepare the cake batter according to the package instructions.
Bake the cake as directed on the package and let it cool completely.
Once cool, place the first cake layer on a serving platter.
In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to combine the softened butter, confectioners’ sugar, marshmallow creme, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Beat until the mixture is fluffy and well combined.
Spread this mix on top of the first cake layer, then place the second cake layer on top.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream just until it starts to bubble.
Place the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl and pour the hot heavy cream over them. Let it sit for 2 minutes, then whisk until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Pour the ganache over the top of the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
Use the store-bought vanilla icing to pipe a spiral on top of the ganache. With a toothpick, gently draw lines from the center outwards to create a spiderweb design.

How to Serve Spiderweb Cake

Slice the cake into pieces and serve it on individual plates. It’s perfect for parties or gatherings. You can even add some spooky decorations or small plastic spiders on top for an extra festive touch!

How to Store Spiderweb Cake

To store leftover Spiderweb Cake, place it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for about 3-4 days. You can also freeze slices of the cake for longer storage. Just wrap them tightly in plastic wrap before placing them in a freezer-safe container.

Tips to Make Spiderweb Cake

Make sure your butter is softened before mixing to ensure a smooth frosting.
Allow the cake layers to cool completely to prevent melting the frosting.
Don’t rush the chocolate ganache; let it sit to achieve the best consistency.

Variation

You can add additional toppings like crushed cookies, gummy worms, or even different flavors of icing for a varied look and taste.
