If you are hosting a Halloween party, these Trick or Treat Chocolate Fudge Cupcakes are really popular. Simply bake up a batch of your favourite cupcake recipe (we have included ours below), and decorate with chocolate ganache, sprinkles, and Halloween Cupcake Flags. Baking with kids is such a fun activity and they will enjoy making some cupcake toppers to decorate their cupcakes while the cakes are baking.
To make the cupcake flags, punch out a scalloped circle from coloured card. Print some Halloween images on white card or use some Halloween stickers. Use a smaller circle punch to punch out the images, and then glue them into the larger scalloped circle. Tape a toothpick to the back and pop them in your cupcakes.
Chocolate Fudge Cupcakes
50g unsalted butter, softened
1 large eggs, lightly beaten
125g caster sugar
50g dark chocolate, melted
140g plain flour
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tbsp cocoa powder
125ml milk
(Makes 12 Cupcakes)
Preheat the oven to 180°c and place cupcake liners into your cupcake tray.
Combine butter, egg, sugar and melted chocolate in a large bowl.
Sift flour, bicarbonate of soda and cocoa into the mix.
Pour milk into the mixture and beat for 1-2 minutes.
Spoon the batter into the trays and bake for 18-20 minutes.
Chocolate Ganache
50g unsalted butter
125g dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
Put the butter and the chopped chocolates into a bowl and heat it in the microwave in intervals of 15-20 seconds and stir each time. Do this until chocolate has melted and butter is combined.
Spread a spoonful of ganache on top of the cupcakes and add some Halloween sprinkles. When the ganache has set, add a cupcake topper.
