Halloween Cupcakes Recipe

These Halloween themed cupcakes have a gruesome bloody centre that ooze as you bite into them. These buns are really easy to make and are enough to give the trick or treaters a fright!

1. Firstly, sieve the Self-raising Flour into a large mixing bowl. Then add the Caster Sugar and 1/2 tsp of Baking Powder.
2. Cube up the Butter and add to the bowl and break in the 2 Eggs as well. Mix everything together using a wooden spoon or a mixer until you have a nice smooth cake mix.
3. If you want to add some food colouring to the cakes, add some here - combining it into the cake mixture.
4. Put 8 cupcake cases into a cake tin and divide the mixture into the cases. Then put the cakes into a pre-heated oven on 180c for 25-30 minutes (or until cooked through and golden).
5. Meanwhile, prepare some icing by mixing water with some Icing Sugar until a thick paste is formed. Leave to cool in the fridge whilst the buns are cooking.
6. Also prepare the Raspberry centre by mashing the Raspberries with a fork into a pulp. Then set aside.
7. Once the cakes are cooked, remove from the oven and leave to cool. Then carefully remove the centre of each cupcake using an apple corer. Be sure not to go all the way to the bottom and save the middle for later.
8. Fill the middle of each cupcake with the pulped Raspberries then place part of the cake centre your removed back on top.
9. Drip the Icing Sugar on top of the cupcakes along with some of the Raspberry juices. Then finish off with some Halloween themed sweets and decorations.
