Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Boiling water
- 16 ounces Vanilla frosting
- 24 pieces Candy eyes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture is well combined.
Carefully pour in the boiling water and mix until smooth. The batter will be thin, but that’s okay.
Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, fill a piping bag with vanilla frosting. Use a flat piping tip to pipe lines across the cupcake to create a 'mummy bandage' effect.
Leave a small gap for the mummy’s 'eyes.' Place two candy eyes in the gap and adjust as needed to make them look whimsical or spooky.
Serve and enjoy your Easy Mummy Cupcakes!
