Time 2h4m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 18

½ cup milk
1 tablespoon white vinegar
½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
10 tablespoons white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla sugar
2 large eggs
¾ cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch salt
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
¼ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
2 drops green food coloring
24 candy eyeballs

Steps:

  • Combine milk and vinegar in a bowl. Let stand until milk curdles, about 5 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line cups with paper liners.
  • Combine 1/2 cup butter, white sugar, and vanilla sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Mix 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Alternate adding flour mixture and curdled milk to the creamed butter mixture, mixing until batter is well blended. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed and a toothpick inserted in the center of 1 cupcake comes back clean, about 14 minutes. Cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • Combine cream cheese and 1/4 cup butter in a bowl; beat with an electric mixer until well combined. Mix in vanilla extract. Stir in confectioners' sugar gradually. Color frosting green with a few drops of food coloring.
  • Place green frosting in a pastry bag fitted with a grass tip. Hold the pastry bag at a 90-degree angle 1/8 inch above the surface of a cupcake. Squeeze bag to form green 'fur' by pulling tip up and away when the icing strand is about 1/2 inch high. Repeat to cover cupcake evenly with fur. Add 2 eyes to each cupcake.

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup organic cane sugar
1/2 cup natural unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp fine grain sea salt
1/2 cup buttermilk, at room-temperature¹
1/2 cup warm water
1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil
1 large egg, at room-temperature
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room-temperature
3-4 cups confectioners (powdered) sugar
1/4 cup milk
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
food coloring, any color
candy eyes, for decorating

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt, until combined.
  • Add the buttermilk, water, and oil. Whisk until well-combined. Stir in the egg and vanilla, and whisk until smooth.
  • Use a cookie scoop to divide the batter between the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until a cake tester inserted into the center of each cupcake comes out with only a few crumbs.
  • Remove from the oven, and let cool for at least 5 minutes in the pan, before transferring to a baking rack to cool completely. Be sure the cupcakes are at room-temperature before decorating.
  • Using an standup mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or a hand-held electric mixer, cream the butter on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, a full 2 minutes.
  • Turn the mixer down to low, add 2 cups sugar, the milk, and vanilla, and beat together until smooth and fluffy. Add more confectioners sugar until the frosting reaches your desired consistency, preferably that it's stiff enough to easily hold its shape once piped onto the cupcakes.
  • Add food coloring, as desired, and mix until the frosting reaches your preferred color(s).
  • Scoop the frosting into a piping bag fitted with a star tip, and starting in the center of each (cooled) cupcake, and working in a loose spiral, pipe on the monster "fur." Top with candy eyes. Best enjoyed the day of.
