    How simple was it to make these Eggless Halloween Cupcakes. Don't you Agree?

    You can also consider freezing the cupcakes for up to 2 months.

    Baker's Tips:

    1. Instead of water use milk to make the eggless chocolate cupcakes richer.
    2. Use thick and good quality cupcake liners so that the wrappers doesn't feel oily once baked.
    3. Regular marshmallows do contain gelatin in them so if you are a vegetarian make sure you are buying vegetarian or vegan marshmallows.
    4. Always store the frosted cupcake in the refrigerator.

    Recipe FAQ's

    Can I use Whipped Cream Frosting for this recipe instead?

    Yes definitely you can. Consider checking our Stabilized Chocolate Whipped Cream frosting for the same.

    My Buttercream became hard on refrigeration. What Should I do?

    Butter does get harden upon refrigeration. So it is always a better idea to leave your cupcakes at room temperature 30 mins prior to serving.

      I love making these cup cakes for Halloween and send them to my kid school. Please provide the measurements in grams that would be very help.
      I do remember you hv mentioned in the video to use gm measurements instead of cups. I’m active follower of u in insta and YouTube as well .
      You hv come up with early very good and easy recipes for this festival season.

      Thanks,
      Pooja
