Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Boiling water
- 1 cup Chocolate frosting
- 12 pieces Oreo cookies (separated, cream intact)
- 24 pieces Candy eyes
- 12 pieces Yellow or orange candy-coated chocolates (e.g., M&Ms)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with 12 cupcake liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add in the egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until the batter is smooth and fully combined.
Pour in the boiling water and gently mix until well incorporated. The batter will be thin, but that's okay.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, spread a generous layer of chocolate frosting onto each cupcake.
To create the owl decoration, place two Oreo cookie halves with the cream side up on the top of each cupcake to form the eyes.
Press two candy eyes onto the cream of the Oreos to complete the pupils.
Place a yellow or orange candy-coated chocolate in the center, below the eyes, to form the owl's beak.
Serve and enjoy your spooky yet adorable Twit Twooo Hooting Halloween Owls!
