I've been holding onto a Halloween cupcake recipe for a couple of years, (standard size cupcakes), and I'm finally wanting to make them. But since I bookmarked the recipe, they've moved the instructions behind a paywall. However, the ingredient list is intact! I've baked enough cakes to know what to do with the ingredients, but I don't know the science behind determining ideal oven temps and bake times
The ingredients are as follows:
- 50 grams cocoa powder
- 175 grams plain flour
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- 225 grams caster sugar
- 175 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 175 milliliters milk
- 1 tablespoon black food gel colour (americolour 'SUPER BLACK')
A video I found of the recipe was mostly unhelpful, but it did mention baking at 160C/300F. That seems low though. I could find an alternate black velvet cupcake recipe, but I'm curious to get an answer on this anyway. Thanks!
