Halloween Cake ~~ Chocolate Velvet Cake 万圣节巧克力蛋糕

Halloween, celebrated on October 31, is just around the corner, which means an evening of fun filled with costumes, spooky treats, trick-or-treating, Halloween party games, and (for adults only) boo-zy Halloween cocktails.😍👻

So, I baked a Halloween cake to celebrate this haunted season.😉 This Halloween Chocolate Cake is beautiful with the simple halloween design, yet it's also very delicious. The cake is soft and the cream is chocolaty, and topped with dark chocolate garnache, a perfact match! 

Prepared this chocolate cream👆 for making chocolate cream. Freeze it in the fridge first before mix it with whipped cream.

                                                   👆 Make the chocolate cream.

👆 Ready to decolate...😊
