Is your weather starting to cool off a little bit where you are? Then it may be time for an Autumn Bundt Cake! We finally are getting some milder, fall~ish type days here in North Carolina, and not a moment to soon for me. I am a true lover of all things fall, the weather being the #1 reason, but also because of all the gorgeous colors, the fall hikes to see the leaves, dining outside on the back porch, and campfires. Backyard campfires are such fun! Of course with campfires, there must be s’mores. And when I learned that the #BundtBakers theme this month was S’mores, well, it’s just a natural pairing, autumn and s’mores! I hope you like this Autumn Bundt Cake!

Place the chocolate and the cocoa in a bowl. Pour the boiling water over it and whisk together unto smooth. Set aside.
Sift together the flours, baking soda, and salt and place in bowl. Set aside.
Beat the butter on medium high until creamy, about 1 minute. Add the brown sugar and beat at high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating 30 seconds after each addition.
Reduce the speed to medium and ass the sour cream and vanilla. Beat until combined. Stop the mixer and scrape down your bowl.
Mixing on low speed, add 1/3 of the flour mix and 1/2 of the chocolate mix. Repeat this again. Now you only have the flour mix left. Add the flour mix just until combined.
Once you are done,use a spatula to mix it up again a few times by hand.

Make buttercream frosting, and color frosting as desired. Drizzle each color over cake. Cut large pumpkin marshmallows in half and attach to cake with buttercream. Attach candy bars, and sprinkle graham crackers over top of cake.
