Ingredients
  

  • 175 g Baking spread (or butter) Softened, unsalted
  • 175 g Caster sugar For sweetness and texture
  • 3 large Eggs Adds moisture and richness
  • 2 tsp Vanilla extract Enhances flavor depth
  • 175 g Self raising flour Provides structure and lift
  • 25 g Black food colouring Gives the cupcakes their spooky hue
  • 200 g Butter Softened, unsalted, for the buttercream
  • 400 g Icing sugar Sweetens the buttercream topping
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract For added flavor in the buttercream
  • 1-2 tbsp Milk Adjusts consistency of the buttercream
  • Green food colouring For vibrant buttercream color
  • Yellow food colouring A touch to enhance green tone
  • 150 g Tinned custard For filling the cupcakes with slime effect
  • Candy eyes Fun decoration to bring them to life
  • Green sprinkles Adds a festive finish

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 140C Fan/325F/Gas Mark 3. Line a cupcake tin with cupcake cases, preferably black.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened baking spread and caster sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time along with the vanilla extract, whisking until well incorporated.
  3. Gently fold in the self raising flour until just combined. Add the black food coloring gradually until you achieve a deep color.
  4. Divide your batter evenly among the lined cupcake cases and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  5. Once cooled, use a cupcake corer or knife to remove a small section from the center of each cupcake. Mix the tinned custard with green food coloring and spoon it into each hollowed cupcake.
  6. Mix together softened butter and icing sugar until smooth. Add vanilla extract, milk, and both green and yellow food coloring. Pipe or spread this buttercream onto each filled cupcake and decorate with candy eyes and green sprinkles.
