Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box red velvet cake mix
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup raspberry or strawberry jam
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Red food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs.
- Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes, or until well combined. If the batter seems too thick, add a few drops of red food coloring for a more vibrant color.
- Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with batter.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Once the cupcakes are completely cool, spread or pipe the frosting onto each cupcake.
- To create the “vampire bite” effect, use a small spoon or skewer to make a small indentation on one side of the frosted cupcake. Fill this indentation with a small amount of raspberry or strawberry jam, letting it slightly drip down the side.
Notes
- For an extra spooky touch, you can add edible glitter to the frosting.
- If you don’t have raspberry or strawberry jam, any red fruit jam will work.
- Ensure cupcakes are completely cool before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
