These pesky spiders have been getting everywhere today.
- 125g self-raising flour
- 125g sugar
- 125g butter
- 2 eggs
- grated zest of 1 orange
- 1 tbsp milk
For the topping
- a good shake of icing sugar
- juice of 1/2 an orange
- dab of orange food colouring (optional)
- 6 squares of dark chocolate, melted
Put all the ingredients for the cupcakes, except the milk, in a food processor and blitz until smooth. Add the milk at the end, with the motor still running, to make a fairly sloppy cake mix. Spoon into 12 cake cases, set into a bun tin, and cook at gas 6 for 15 to 20 minutes until the cupcakes are lightly golden.
When the cupcakes have cooled, sift the icing sugar into a bowl (I never bother weighing or measuring icing sugar - just give a good shake from the tub). Add the orange juice, plus some orange food colouring if you want a more vivid icing than mine. Stir together until you have a smooth, runny icing. Dribble spoonfuls of icing all over the cupcakes. When the icing is cool, melt the chocolate and dribble over the top.
Feed to spiders and small witches.
AH! Cute little witch! And thanks for the holiday recipe ideas!
