More fun than frightening, these whimsical witch cupcakes cast their spell on every sweet tooth. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1 cup sugar |
2 eggs |
1-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup baking cocoa |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1-1/4 cups milk |
1 can (16 ounces) vanilla frosting |
green food coloring |
witch hats: |
1 can (16 ounces) vanilla frosting |
2 teaspoons milk |
assorted food coloring of your choice |
12 to 16 ice cream sugar cones |
fruit roll-ups, licorice and assorted candies of your choice |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk. Beat just until combined.
2. Fill paper- or foil-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 350° for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
3. Tint frosting green; frost cupcakes. For hats, combine frosting and milk; tint with food coloring. Frost ice cream cones. Using small cookie cutters, cut out shapes from Fruit Roll-Ups; arrange on hats. Add licorice for hair and candies for faces. Place a hat on each witch. Yield: about 1 dozen.
