Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Butter
- 1 cup Sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 1 1/2 cups Flour
- 1/2 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 packet baking powder
- 1 cup Milk (for the muffin batter)
- 1 1/2 cups Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk (at room temperature)
- to taste food coloring (orange)

Halloween Spider Cupcakes Preparation
First, combine all the dry ingredients: flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and baking powder in a bowl, mix everything and set aside.
Now work the sugar with the eggs until you get a frothy mixture, then add the softened butter and mix everything well.
Add the dry ingredients you previously mixed and gradually also the 1 cup of milk to blend everything well and obtain a smooth and homogeneous batter.
Now place the muffin liners in the muffin tray and fill them 2/3 full with the batter.
Bake in an already hot oven for 25/30 min at 350°F.
Meanwhile, let’s prepare the frosting by working the powdered sugar with the 2 tablespoons of milk using a whisk. Finally, add a few drops of food coloring until you get the desired color. If the frosting is too liquid, add more powdered sugar little by little, or if it’s too thick, add more milk little by little.
Pour the frosting into a piping bag and refrigerate until ready to use.
Once your cupcakes are baked, let them cool for about 10/15 minutes, preferably on a wire rack.
Once they have cooled, proceed with the frosting and finally decorate with a spider-shaped candy.
Now your Halloween spider cupcakes are ready for the famous question…
