Halloween Cupcakes
Ingredients:
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- ¾ cup sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 eggs
- 3 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Frosting:
- ¾ cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- Food coloring to decorate, if desired
- Raspberry jam, to decorate, if desired
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 18 standard muffin cups with paper liners. Sift the flour and sugar into a mixing bowl. Add the butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla, and beat until smooth. Fill the paper liners three-quarters full with the batter. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the cupcakes are golden. Cool on a wire rack. To make the frosting, mix the confectioners’ sugar, cocoa, and butter with a little hot water until smooth. Divide and color with food coloring if desired. Spread over the cakes. Drizzle with raspberry jam if desired.
