A Spooky, Gory Twist on Classic Cupcakes
These cupcakes are as easy to make as they are spooky, with a moist chocolate base and a surprise jam filling. The “bleeding” jam creates a gory yet delightful effect that’s perfect for Halloween parties or just for fun. Let’s get started on these frightfully delicious treats!
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup water
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons black food coloring
- 1/2 cup raspberry or strawberry jam (for filling)
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the water, vegetable oil, vinegar, vanilla extract, and black food coloring to the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Fill the cupcake liners two-thirds full with the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool completely. Once cooled, use a cupcake corer or a small knife to remove the center of each cupcake.
- Fill the hollowed-out center of each cupcake with raspberry or strawberry jam. Replace the removed cupcake piece to cover the filling.
- Frost the cupcakes with your favorite frosting, then drizzle additional jam over the top to create a “bleeding” effect.
