Halloween Cupcakes
Whether you’re baking with friends, family, or simply indulging in some solo kitchen fun, Halloween cupcakes are the perfect way to add a little sweetness and spookiness to the holiday.
Ingredients
- 200 g plain flour
- 150 g caster sugar
- 100 g butter softened
- 2 large eggs
- 120 ml whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Set your oven to 180°C (160°C fan) and line your cupcake tin with spooky paper cases.
- In a bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold this into the butter mixture, alternating with the milk until you have a smooth batter.
- Spoon the batter into the cupcake cases, filling them about two-thirds full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. Let them cool completely before decorating
