Introducing the Witch’s Brew Pound Cake, a spooky Halloween addition to my pound cake series! 

Starting with a boxed pound cake mix, this recipe gets its Halloween twist from a package of pistachio pudding, which not only gives the cake its signature green color but also makes it incredibly tasty. Don’t expect a strong pistachio flavor here—the result is a more subtle, cookie-like taste that pairs perfectly with the other Halloween-inspired toppings.

Once the batter is prepared, the fun really begins. A generous sprinkle of Halloween sprinkles adds a pop of color on top before the cake goes into the oven. When it comes out, you’ll have a perfectly green-tinted pound cake that looks just as festive as it tastes. And it doesn’t stop there—after cooling, the cake is topped with fluffy whipped cream, candy corn, and crushed Oreos. I know!!…all the best things. 

The combination of the rich, buttery cake with the crunchy Oreo topping and sweet candy corn creates a treat that’s perfect for Halloween night, movie-watching, or any themed parties that you have coming up. I personally think it looks so fun and festive on a Halloween serving tray loaded with candy. Better yet, add it to a dessert table with Jack-o-lantern and Ghost character cookies.

This Witch’s Brew Pound Cake was so easy to make and everyone absolutely loved it. I’m really having a blast with all of these cake mix creations, so stay tuned for more in this pound cake series!
