Ingredients

Servings

• 1.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 0.5 teaspoon Black gel food coloring
• 1 cup Buttercream frosting
• 1 tube Black decorating gel
• 24 pair Candy eyes

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined. Stir in the black gel food coloring.
5. Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely.
6. Frost the cooled cupcakes with buttercream frosting. Use the black decorating gel to draw bat wings on each cupcake. Place two candy eyes on each cupcake to resemble bats' eyes.
7. Serve and enjoy!
