Chocolate spider legs can be piped before hand with melted chocolate ; Place four legs on each side of the body and add two little pearl eyes. When baking these cupcakes, I make it simple and use a store bought mix for Devil's Food Chocolate cake. To "fill" the cupcakes, you first pipe frosting around the perimeter (I use an extra large closed star frosting tip). You then flood the centre with a scant teaspoon of caramel, and then finish piping the frosting on top.
dark chocolate cupcakes w/ marshmallow frosting! yummmy :)) step by step
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F.
- Line a 12 cupcake tin w/ cupcake liners;set aside.
- Boil water over high heat in a saucepan. Once boiling, turn off the heat then add the chocolate and cocoa. Whisk until smooth and set aside to cool..
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt until well combined.
- Place the butter and sugar into a large dry bowl and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 mins on med-high speed.
- Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then add vanilla extract, scraping sides as necessary and mixed until smooth and light.
- Add dry ingredients to creamed butter mixture alternately with the cooled chocolate mixture and mix until just incorporated and mixture is smooth ( Dont overmix!).

- Cool for 10 mins before removing from tins to wire racks to cool completely..
- For the marshmallow frosting : fill a medium saucepan with 1 inch of water. Simmer water over med to high heat and arrange a rack in the middle. I use my stand mixer bowl over the boiling water..
- Place eggwhites, sugar, cream of tartar and salt in the stand mixer bowl and whisk by hand to combine. Nest the bowl over the saucepan, making sure the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water. Heat the eggwhite mixture , whisking constantly until the sugar has dissolved and mixture is hot to ur touch. ( we dont wanna make scramble eggs ).
- Transfer bowl to stand mixer fitted wd whisk attachment. Whisk until stiff, glossy peaks form..
- Transfer frosting to piping bag fitted with a closed star piping tip and pipe it onto the cupcakes..

I find this much easier than filling a cupcake by scooping out a well with a paring knife. In a large bowl using an electric mixer on low speed, combine the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder. Cream the butter until it is light and fluffy. Moist banana cake dipped in dark chocolate then topped with chocolate-almond buttercream and a banana chip. My family says that these are the best cupcakes I have ever made.
