*Oreo Bat Halloween Bat Cupcakes Recipe*

*Timings.*
• Prep Time: 5 mins.
• Cook Time: 20 mins.
• Total Time: 25 mins.

*Servings.*
The recipe will make 12 cupcakes.

*Ingredients.*

_For the chocolate cupcakes:_
• ¾ cup + 1 tbsp (175g/7oz) Butter (room temperature).
• ¾ cup + 2 tbsp (175g/7oz) Caster Sugar.
• ¾ cup (120g/4oz) Self-Raising Flour.
• 1 tsp Baking Powder.
• ¼ cup + 2 tbsp (40g/1½oz) Cocoa Powder.
• 3 Medium Eggs.

_For the buttercream frosting:_
• ¾ cup + 2 tbsp (200g/7oz) Butter (room temperature).
• 2¾ cups (400g/14oz) Icing Sugar/Powdered Sugar.
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract.
• 1-2 tbsp Milk/Warm Water.
• Orange Gel Food Colouring (optional).

_For the decorations:_
• 12 Oreo Cookies.
• 6 Oreo Cookies with cream removed and each side cut in half.
• 24 Edible Eyes.

*Method.*

_To make the chocolate cupcake:_
1. Preheat the oven:
• Fan Oven: 160°C/320°F.
• Oven: 180°C/360°F.
• Gas Mark 4.
2. Line a cupcake tin with 12 cupcake cases.
3. Mix together the room-temperature butter, self-raising flour, baking powder, eggs, cocoa powder and caster sugar until smooth, taking care not to overmix.
4. Spoon the mixture evenly between the cupcake cases.
5. Bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes.
6. When baked, allow them to cool on a wire rack.

_To make the buttercream frosting:_
1. Beat the room temperature butter until smooth and white in colour – this can take about 4 minutes.
2. Add in the icing sugar a couple of tablespoons at a time, making sure the icing sugar is fully incorporated before adding more and mixing again. 3. Repeat this process until all the icing sugar/powdered sugar is mixed in.
4. When all the icing sugar is fully mixed in, scrape down the sides of the bowl.
5. Add the vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of milk/warm water (if needed) and mix again for about 2 minutes.
6. If making orange buttercream remove half the white buttercream from the bowl and set it to one side.
7. Add the orange gel food colouring to the remaining buttercream and mix until the gel colour is fully combined. The amount of gel colour you add depends on how deep a colour you want.

_To decorate the cupcakes:_
1. Slather the buttercream on the cupcakes using a spoon or pipe a swirl of buttercream on the top.
2. I use a 1M Wilton tip to create a nice swirl effect.
3. Using a little melted chocolate, stick the edible eyes to the oreo cookies.
4. Pop the Oreo cookie in the centre of the buttercream and push it down.
Add half of an oreo cookie to each side to make the bat wings.

*Storage.*
• Store for up to 3-4 days in an airtight container at room temperature.
• Freeze for up to 3 months.
