Ingredients

  • 1 (15.25oz) box chocolate or devils food cake mix
  • 1 (4oz) box chocolate pudding mix
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tsp espresso powder optional
  • 2 cups vanilla buttercream
  • black frosting

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 2- 12 count muffin tins with paper liners and set aside for later. 
  • Combine the first seven ingredients in a large bowl. Mix until fully combined. 
  • Fill the cupcake liners 3/4 full with the batter. Bake 15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove from the pan and cool completely. 
  • Prep a piping bag with a large round pipping tip. Fill with vanilla buttercream or frosting. 
  • Pipe the frosting on top of each cupcake until you have a nice tall dome. Don't worry about it being too perfect. The imperfect ghosts look the best! 
  • Using a small round pipping tip and black frosting, create small eyes directly onto the frosted cupcakes.
