Ingredients
  • 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
  • 10 drop Green food coloring
  • 1 cup Cream cheese
  • 1 cup Powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 12 piece Candy eyeballs
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a cupcake pan with paper 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 green food coloring.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. In a small bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  8. Frost the cooled cupcakes with the cream cheese frosting and decorate with candy eyeballs.
  9. Let the frosting set for 10 minutes before serving.
