Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 box (16 ounces) vanilla frosting
- Black food coloring
- Orange food coloring
- Halloween sprinkles
- Waffle cones
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add softened butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cupcakes cool, prepare the frosting. Divide the frosting into two bowls. Tint one bowl black and the other orange using food coloring.
- Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them. You can swirl the black and orange frosting together for a marbled effect, or frost them in solid colors.
- Decorate with Halloween sprinkles.
- To serve as cupcake cones, carefully insert the pointed end of a waffle cone into the bottom of each frosted cupcake.
Notes
- For an extra spooky touch, you can add candy eyes or edible glitter to your cupcake cones.
- Make sure the cupcakes are completely cool before frosting, otherwise the frosting will melt.
- If you don’t have waffle cones, you can also serve these as regular cupcakes.
