Indulge your dark side with wickedly delicious Red Devil cupcakes for Halloween.
Ingredients:
  • 180g butter, softened
  • 315g caster sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 375g plain flour
  • 4.00 gm baking powder
  • 20.00 gm NESTLÉ BAKERS' CHOICE Cocoa
  • 250ml buttermilk
  • 20.00 ml white vinegar
  • 2.50 gm bicarbonate of soda
  • 20.00 ml red liquid food colouring
  • 1 metre licorice strap
  • 375g cream cheese, softened
  • 100g butter, softened
  • 225g icing sugar mixture
  • Red gel food colouring
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180C and line eighteen 1/3 cup (80ml) muffin pans with paper cases.
  • Using an electric mixer, whip the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Alternate adding the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, and buttermilk. Stir in the vinegar, bicarbonate, and food coloring until combined. Distribute the batter evenly among the prepared pans.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the centers comes out clean. Then, let them cool completely on a wire rack.
  • For the cream cheese icing, use an electric mixer to blend the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Slowly add the icing sugar in batches, mixing thoroughly each time. Incorporate the food coloring by beating until evenly combined. Scoop the mixture into a piping bag with a 1.5cm fluted nozzle, then decorate the cakes with the icing. Trim licorice straps into horns and tails using a small sharp knife, and attach to the cupcakes.
