- 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
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
- Add softened butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Gradually add buttermilk, mixing until the batter is smooth.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
- Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cupcakes cool, prepare the frosting. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth and pourable.
- Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost each one with the white frosting.
- 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.
- 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.
