17+ Bloody Halloween Cupcakes Recipe Ignite Your Passion For Cooking!

Ingredients You'll Need:

- Cupcakes:

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• ½ cup whole milk
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Red food coloring

- Cream Cheese Frosting:

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Red food coloring

Instructions:

To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and line a cupcake pan with liners. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the butter until smooth and creamy. Add in the milk, egg, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.

Next, gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Add in a few drops of red food coloring to give the batter a bloody appearance. Be careful not to add too much, as you don't want the cupcakes to turn out too dark.

Spoon the batter into the prepared cupcake pan, filling each liner about 2/3 of the way full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting.

To make the cream cheese frosting, beat together the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined. Add in a few drops of red food coloring to give the frosting a blood-like hue.

Once the cupcakes are cooled, use a piping bag or knife to frost them with the cream cheese frosting. To add an extra bloody touch, you can drizzle some red food coloring on top of the frosting to give it a dripping effect.

Now, these bloody Halloween cupcakes are ready to be devoured by all your guests! Serve them up at your Halloween party or bring them to a potluck, and watch as everyone marvels at your spooktacular creation.
