🍰HALLOWEEN CUPCAKES🍰

Today I am going to be telling the ingredients and method into making Halloween cupcakes.

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cup flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp Gregg's Ground Cinnamon
• ½ tsp Gregg's Ground Ginger
• ¾ cup soft brown sugar
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 2 eggs
• ¾ cup pumpkin puree (approx. 350g uncooked pumpkin)
• 
  Cream Cheese Frosting:
• 125g spreadable cream cheese
• 2 ½ - 3 cups icing sugar
• ½ tsp orange zest
• Dark chocolate bits
• Method:
• Preheat oven to 180°C (fan assisted). Place paper cupcake cases into muffin tins. Alternatively grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
• Sift flour, baking soda, Gregg’s Ground Cinnamon and Gregg’s Ground Ginger into a mixing bowl.
• Whisk together brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs and pumpkin puree until well combined. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour in pumpkin mixture. Stir to mix. Spoon mixture into cupcake cases. Bake for 15-20 minutes until cooked and golden. Transfer to a baking rack to cool. Once cupcakes are cold, pipe cream cheese frosting onto the top of the cupcakes. Place 3 choc bits on the frosting to make the eyes and mouth.
Cream Cheese Frosting:
1. Beat together cream cheese with 2 ½ cups of the measured icing sugar and orange zest until creamy. Add extra icing sugar if necessary to make a firm but piping consistency.
