1. 125g Plain Flour
2. 25g Cocoa Powder
3. 1.5 tsp Baking Powder
4. 150g Caster Sugar
5. 150g Butter, Softened at Room Temperature
6. 1 Medium Egg

For the cake

1. Preheat the oven to 150c (fan) and line a 12 hole muffin tray with your Halloween cupcake cases.
2. Sieve the Flour, Cocoa Powder and Baking Powder together in a large mixing bowl.
3. Beat in the Butter until it is combined well. Then add the Caster Sugar and mix thoroughly.
4. Stir the Egg and Milk into the large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
5. Evenly distribute the chocolate cupcake mixture into each cake case. Then bake in the oven for roughly 20 minutes.

For the Icing

1. Once the cakes are completely cool, even the slightest warmth will melt the icing, sieve the Cocoa Powder and Icing Sugar into a bowl.
2. Add the Milk and then gradually beat in the Butter until the mixture is smooth and fluffy in texture.
3. Spoon icing mixture into your prepared piping bag and carefully swirl the icing in the specified design onto each cupcake.
