Witch hat cupcakes
Yummy and spooky, these cupcakes are a real hit for Halloween!
200g sugar
125g flour
125g butter, melted
2 eggs
80ml milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking powder
30g cocoa powder
For the buttercream
100g butter, at room temperature
200g icing sugar
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp milk
For the decoration
12 mini cones
150g dark chocolate, melted
Gold sprinkles
Place all the ingredients for the cupcakes in a large mixing bowl and whisk with a hand mixer. Spoon the mixture into 12 paper lined muffin cups and bake at 180°C for 20 minutes or until an inserted skewer comes out clean. Let cool on a wire rack.
Meanwhile, make small discs of melted chocolate on a lined baking tray. Paint the cones with melted chocolate and place them on the coins to make witch hats. Decorate with mini gold sprinkles.
For the buttercream, whip the butter until pale and fluffy. Add the cocoa powder and vanilla extract and gradually add the icing sugar. Add a tablespoon of milk if needed. Pipe the buttercream on the cooled down cupcakes, then top with a witch hat.
