Ingredients
  

  • 175 g Baking spread (or butter) Softened, unsalted
  • 175 g Caster sugar For sweetness and texture
  • 3 large Eggs Provides structure and richness
  • 2 tsp Vanilla extract Adds aromatic flavor
  • 175 g Self raising flour Ensures a light and fluffy sponge
  • 25 g Black food colouring Gives the cupcakes their spooky hue
  • 200 g Butter Softened, unsalted for the frosting
  • 400 g Icing sugar For a sweet and smooth buttercream
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract Enhances the buttercream flavor
  • 1-2 tbsp Milk Adjusts the consistency of the frosting
  • Green food colouring To create a bright green frosting
  • Yellow food colouring To mix with green for depth in color
  • 150 g Tinned custard The gooey filling that surprises inside each cupcake
  • Candy eyes For decoration and an extra spooky touch
  • Green sprinkles To finish off your Halloween masterpiece

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 140C Fan/325F/Gas Mark 3 while preparing your cupcake tin with black cupcake cases.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the baking spread and caster sugar using an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy, about five minutes.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time along with the vanilla extract, whisking them in well to ensure everything is nicely combined.
  4. Gently fold in the self-raising flour followed by the black food coloring until you achieve a uniform dark batter.
  5. Divide the batter into your prepared cupcake cases and bake for 25-30 minutes, ensuring they are cooked through by testing with a skewer before cooling on a rack.
  6. Once cooled, core out each cupcake and fill them with lime-colored custard before topping them off with bright green buttercream made from icing sugar, butter, vanilla extract, milk, and food coloring; finish with candy eyes and sprinkles.
