Description
Delightful ghostly cupcakes with a fluffy base and spooky frosting, perfect for Halloween gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 2 cups buttercream frosting
- Black edible eyes or chocolate chips (for decoration)
- Piping bag with a round tip
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
- Line a cupcake tin with paper liners and evenly distribute the batter among the liners. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow them to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Fit a piping bag with a round tip and fill it with buttercream frosting. Pipe the frosting onto each cooled cupcake in a swirl to create the ghost shape. Add black edible eyes or chocolate chips to give each ghost some personality.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for a week.
