Are you ready to celebrate the spookiest night of the year? Here’s our quick and easy last-minute idea: Halloween Cupcakes! Super tasty and light, made with our Selezione Italiana Extra Virgin Olive Oil instead of butter.
Ingredients for 7 cupcakes:
-
200 g fine sugar
-
3 eggs
-
100 g plain yogurt
-
100 ml Colavita Extra Virgin Olive Oil
-
4 tablespoons cocoa powder
-
250 g all-purpose flour
-
1 packet baking powder
-
200 ml milk
For the buttercream frosting:
-
125 g powdered sugar
-
40 g butter
-
Orange food coloring
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Beat the eggs with sugar for about 5 minutes until pale and fluffy.
Add the yogurt and olive oil in a thin stream, mixing well.
Incorporate the flour, baking powder, cocoa, and a pinch of salt.
Soften the batter with milk, mixing until smooth and homogeneous.
Spoon the batter into cupcake molds and bake for 20 minutes at 180°C. Use a toothpick to check doneness.
Meanwhile, prepare the buttercream by mixing softened butter with powdered sugar, slowly adding a few drops of orange food coloring.
If needed, add a little water to achieve a thick, smooth consistency.
Once baked, let the cupcakes cool and decorate using a piping bag.
