Ingredients

For the cupcakes
  • 150 g wheat flour
  • 100 g sugar
  • 50 g cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 100 g butter (at room temperature)
  • 2 eggs
  • 100 ml milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 100 g dark chocolate (chopped)
For the bloody filling
  • 100 g red fruit jam (strawberry, raspberry, or cherry)
For the black garlic glaze
  • 4 cloves of Amefruits black garlic
  • 150 g powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk (to adjust consistency)
  • A pinch of activated charcoal (optional, for an intense black color)
For the eye decoration
  • Edible sugar eyes (can be found in pastry shops)

Prepare the cupcakes:

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and place paper liners in a cupcake tray. In a bowl, beat the butter with the sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract.
  2. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing gently until smooth. Stir in the dark chocolate pieces.
  3. Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake molds, filling them 2/3 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.

Bloody filling:

  1. Once the cupcakes are cool, make a small hole in the center of each using a knife or a small spoon. Fill the holes with red fruit jam to simulate “blood” and replace the top of the cupcake to cover the filling.

Black garlic glaze:

Mash the black garlic cloves into a smooth paste. In a bowl, mix the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and black garlic. Add the milk gradually until you get the right glaze consistency (not too runny or too thick). If you want a more intense color, add a pinch of activated charcoal.

Decorate the cupcakes:

Cover each cupcake with the black garlic glaze, creating a dark and eerie appearance. For an extra spooky touch, place edible sugar eyes on each cupcake for a fun and scary look. You can also add “blood drops” of jam or small Halloween decorations.

These “bloody” cupcakes will be the hit of your Halloween party, with a unique flavor that combines the sweetness and umami of Amefruits black garlic.
