Halloween Cupcakes Recipe

Ingredients for the dough

• 200 g. of flour

• 200 g. of sugar

• 3 eggs

• 100 ml. olive oil

• 180 ml. pumpkin puree

• Salt

• 1 teaspoon of powdered ginger

• 1 and a half teaspoons of yeast

• 2 teaspoons of cinnamon

For the frosting

Preparing Halloween Cupcakes

1. In a bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, ginger and cinnamon.

2. In another bowl, mix the sugar, eggs and oil until you get a smooth, creamy mixture . Now add the pumpkin puree (or the fruit of your choice) and beat.

3. Preheat the oven to about 160ºC  and we will leave the paper molds ready to pour the dough as soon as we have it.

4. We gradually add the sifted flour and stir until it is integrated with the main dough.

5. We pour the contents of the bowl into the molds that we had prepared, filling them about 3/4 of their capacity , since they will rise later.

6. We bake for about 20 minutes , and check at that moment if they are well cooked.

7. When they are done, we remove them from the oven and let them cool.

8. We add the topping and decoration.

Preparing the frosting

1. Mix the butter, icing sugar, vanilla essence and the food colouring of your choice. Stir well to make sure everything is uniform and let it rest for a few minutes.

2. We fill a pastry bag with this mixture and apply it on the cupcakes.

3. If we have purchased decorations for the Halloween cupcakes , we place them on the frosting and enjoy our terrifying and sweet result!

If you want to make it more fun, you can let your children help you prepare the cupcakes, help you decorate them, etc. It's a good activity to do together in the kitchen and they will like it even more.
