Halloween Cupcakes!

My sister has halloween concert tonight. Of course, i said i'd bake. So here I am, trying to finish an english project and make 24 (although only 22 survived) cupcakes.

And I used my Halloween cupcake stencils!

Owls!

They aren't the prettiest, but they are really chocolaty and the fluffiest cupcakes i've ever made.

Super Fluffy Chocolate Cupcakes

• 2 cups sugar
• 1 3/4 cups flour
• 3/4 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup boiling water

I used my fabulous buttercream recipe, tinted orange, which you can find here.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 muffin tins. Stir together sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat in eggs, milk and vanilla. Stir in boiling water. Now this is halloween, so it will spook you. It is supposed to be like soup. The batter is thin. Fill liners 2/3 full, not over, and bake for 20-22 minutes. Let cool, and frost any way you want. Enjoy, and 

Happy Halloween!
