Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (120ml) whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (120ml) strawberry or raspberry jam
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional)
  • 1 cup (240g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cups (360g) powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Red gel food coloring
  • White candy melts or fondant (for fangs)
  • Red gel or piping gel (for “blood” drops)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix the vegetable oil, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Fill cupcake liners ¾ full with batter. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool completely.
  6. Mix the jam with lemon juice (if using) for a tangy “blood” filling.
  7. Use a small knife or cupcake corer to cut out a small hole in the center of each cupcake. Pipe or spoon the jam filling into the holes.
  8. Beat the butter until fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth, then tint with red gel food coloring.
  9. Frost the cupcakes using an offset spatula or piping bag. Add candy fangs and blood drops using red gel or piping gel.

Notes

[‘Don’t overmix the batter to avoid dense cupcakes.’, ‘Ensure cupcakes are fully cooled before decorating to prevent melting frosting.’, ‘Use a small spoon or piping tip to make holes for the filling if you don’t have a corer.’, ‘Adjust frosting consistency with heavy cream or refrigeration as needed.’, ‘Homemade candy fangs can be made with melted white chocolate.’]
