Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 cup black frosting or piping gel

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add softened butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  4. Gradually add buttermilk, mixing until the batter is smooth.
  5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
  7. Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. While the cupcakes cool, prepare the frosting. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth and pourable.
  9. Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost each one with the white frosting.
  10. To create the spiderweb, place the black frosting or piping gel in a piping bag with a fine tip. Pipe concentric circles on top of the white frosting.
  11. Use a toothpick to gently drag lines from the center of the cupcake outwards to create the spiderweb effect.

Notes

  • For an extra spooky touch, add candy spiders to your cupcakes.
  • You can use chocolate cupcakes for a darker base.
  • Ensure your cupcakes are completely cool before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
