Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup milk
- 2 cups powdered sugar (for icing)
- 3 tablespoons milk (for icing)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for icing)
- Black edible marker (for ghost faces)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a cupcake or muffin pan.
- Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl, whisking together and setting aside.
- Cream the softened butter and sugar in a separate large bowl until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
- Combine the dry ingredients with the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fill the pan with the batter, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow cooling in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the icing by mixing the powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth, adjusting the consistency with more milk or sugar as needed.
- Frost the cooled cakes generously with the icing.
- Decorate using a black edible marker to draw ghost faces on the icing.
Notes
Ensure butter and eggs are at room temperature for better mixing. Don’t overmix, and check for doneness a few minutes early to avoid over-baking.
