The Halloween cupcakes are a basic cupcake recipe that we will decorate to make them fun treats for the Halloween party.
I used green coloring to make them colorful and glazed them with powdered sugar and water to form a spiderweb with dark chocolate.
To be honest, I don’t really feel this holiday, but online, even in Italy, there are all kinds of recipes for Halloween, so I wanted to post some recipes on my blog too.
Enjoy yourself for this occasion!
Now it’s time for you to try my recipe, and if you like, send me the photos, and I’ll post them on my Facebook page with your name.

Halloween Cupcake Preparation
In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa.
Using a whisk, cream the butter and sugar in another bowl until smooth.
Combine the first mixture with the second and mix well.
Add the eggs and continue mixing.
In another bowl, mix the whole milk with the lemon juice, add the green coloring and pour everything into the other mixture.
Mix the baking soda and vinegar together and add to the mixture.
Take the muffin or cupcake molds and fill them with the mixture.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 20 minutes.
Once our cupcakes are baked, let them cool. Once cooled, make a glaze with powdered sugar and water as needed, mixing until you get a mixture that is not too liquid.
While the glaze sets, melt the dark chocolate in a bain-marie and use a pastry bag with a small tip to draw spider webs, then refrigerate the treats for at least 30 minutes to let the chocolate set.
