Ingredients

Cupcake Ingredients:

  • 1 3/4 Cups Flour
  • 2 Cups Sugar
  • 1 Cup Cocoa
  • 1 1/2 Teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 1 1/2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1 Teaspoons Salt
  • 2 tablespoon Eggs
  • 1 Cup Whole Milk
  • 1/2 Cup Oil
  • 2 Teaspoons Vanilla
  • 1 Cup Boiling Water

Frosting Ingredients:

  • 1 Cup soft unsalted butter
  • 4 Cups powdered sugar plus a little extra
  • 4 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
  • Chocolate M&M's for eyes
  • Oreo cookies for ears, split apart and the filling removed.

Instructions

Cupcake Directions:

  • Line the cupcake tins with paper liners. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Mix the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
  • In a separate bowl add the eggs, whole milk, oil, and vanilla.
  • Add the bowl containing the eggs, whole milk, oil, and vanilla to the bowl holding the dry ingredients.
  • Mix all together until fully incorporated.
  • Beat for 3 minutes on medium.
  • Slowly add the boiling water starting with a small amount then pour in the remaining boiling water.
  • The batter may be a little runny.
  • Scoop batter into cupcake lined cups until 3/4s filled.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
  • Take out of the cupcake pan placing on a wire rack until completely cooled.

Frosting Directions:

  • Cream the butter and powdered sugar until it looks light and creamy.
  • If it doesn't cream add several drops of the heavy whipping cream until it creams.
  • Test to see if the frosting can form and hold a stiff peak by taking a spoonful of frosting and turning the spoon upside down. If the frosting stays on the spoon it is ready if not then....
  • Add more powdered sugar 1/2 C at a time.... mix well.
  • If ready scoop the frosting into a pastry bag with a large tip.
  • Twist the open end of the pastry bag to push the frosting to the tip.
  • Start the frosting on the outside edge of the cupcake working to the center of the cupcake.

Adding details:

  • Place the separated Oreo as ears on the top of the frosted cupcakes.
  • Place the two M & M's on the upper part of the cupcake as eyes.
  • Use a #48 piping tip, also called the basket weave tip, to create the mummy wraps.
