It’s Halloween, and that means people are looking for ways to make their cooking look more unusual than it already does. The search is over, because I have discovered a recipe that will be the icing on the cupcake.
Ingredients:
- 1 box white cake mix
- 3 egg whites
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup water
- Cupcake liners
- Food coloring: green, red, yellow and blue
- Vanilla frosting
- Mini Marshmallows
Directions:
- In a big bowl, mix cake mix, egg whites, vegetable oil and water at medium speed for two to three minutes.
- Separate cake mixture evenly into three bowls.
- In the first bowl, add three drops of green food coloring and mix well.
- In the second bowl, add three drops of red food coloring and two drops of blue. Mix well and your cake mix should be purple. For a darker purple, add a drop of blue food coloring and for lighter purple, add a drop of red food coloring.
- In the third bowl, add two drops of red, blue, yellow and green food coloring. Mix well and your cake mix should be grey.
- In a cupcake tray, lay out the cupcake liners and add a tablespoon of the cake mixes in this order: grey, green, purple in each cupcake liner.
- Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 18 minutes.
- Turn off the oven, but leave the cupcakes in it for about three minutes.
- Open the oven door, and after 10 minutes, take the cupcakes out and let them cool on the counter for about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Separate the vanilla frosting into two bowls.
- In the first bowl, add four drops of green food coloring.
- In the second bowl, add three drops of red and two drops of blue food coloring.
- Frost the cupcakes, making monster faces with mini marshmallows for the eyes.
- Dip a toothpick into blue food coloring and dot the marshmallows for the pupil.
