Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cup all purpose flour
  • 1 ¼ tsp baking powder
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup buttermilk

TOPPING

  • White Frosting
  • Black Icing in Tube
  • Toothpick

FILLING

  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 - 1 cup granulated sugar
  • red food coloring

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F.
  • Combine all ingredients into a medium sized bowl and combine well.
  • Line a large cupcake pan with cupcake liners. Spray lightly with cooking spray if desired.
  • Prepare cream cheese mixture for the center.
  • Place one tablespoon of batter into the pan. Place a small amount of the red cream cheese into the pan on top of the first tablespoon. Cover the cream cheese with more batter.
  • Bake the cupcakes for 20-23 minutes. Let the cupcakes cool completely once finished.
  • Cover the cooled cupcake with frosting and then draw several circles on the top of the cupcake with black icing using either a tube or a toothpick. If you are not using a spider in the center, make your center circle very small.
  • Drag several lines from the center of the cupcake to the edge in order to create a web look. Enjoy!
