Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• Black food coloring gel
• 24 black licorice sticks
• 48 candy eyes
• Black decorating icing

Instructions:

Warm up the oven to 350F 175C and put black cupcake liners in a cupcake pan

Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl with a whisk

Melt the butter and mix it with the sugar in another bowl until it is light and fluffy

One at a time, add the eggs and mix well after each one

Add the vanilla extract and mix well

To make a thick chocolate paste, mix the buttermilk and cocoa powder in a separate small bowl

Mix the chocolate paste into the butter and sugar until everything is well mixed together

To make your cupcake batter a deep black color, add black food coloring gel

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ones and mix them together until they are just combined

About two thirds of the way to the top of each cupcake liner, fill it with black cat cupcake batter

Its done when a toothpick stuck in the middle of a cupcake comes out clean after 18 to 20 minutes of baking

On a wire rack, take the cupcakes out of the oven and let them cool all the way down

Use black decorating icing to make cat faces on each cupcake once they are cool

You can make a mouth, ears, and whiskers

To make the cats eyes, put two candy eyes into each cupcake

Cut the black licorice sticks into small pieces

Then, make cat tails out of them and put one on top of each cupcake

You can now serve and enjoy your scary Black Cat Halloween Cupcakes
