Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (for chocolate ghostly cupcakes, optional)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract (optional)
  • 2 cups powdered sugar (for ghostly cupcake frosting)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened (for ghostly cupcake frosting)
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk (for ghostly cupcake frosting)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for ghostly cupcake frosting)
  • Black chocolate chips or edible eyes (for ghostly cupcake decoration)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup cupcake pan with paper liners for your spooky cupcakes.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder (if making haunted cupcakes), baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well blended.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the eggs, vegetable oil, buttermilk, vanilla extract, and almond extract until smooth.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix the batter for your scary cupcakes.
  5. Fill the Cupcake Liners: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cupcake liners. Fill them about two-thirds full to allow for rising.
  6. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool: Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Prepare the Frosting: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and fluffy to create the best ghost cupcake frosting.
  9. Frost the Cupcakes: Once the easy ghostly cupcakes are completely cooled, frost each one generously with the buttercream frosting. Use a spatula or piping bag fitted with a round tip to create the ghostly shapes.
  10. Add Eyes: Decorate each frosted cupcake with black chocolate chips or edible eyes to create the ghostly appearances, completing your ghoulish cupcakes.
