Ingredients
- 1 box red velvet cake mix
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup cream cheese frosting
- 1 cup raspberries
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Chocolate or white chocolate fangs (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
- Mix in a large bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Mix until well combined and smooth.
- Fill the batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling them about 2/3 full to allow for rising.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow cupcakes to cool completely in the pan.
- Prepare the ‘bloody’ raspberry sauce by combining raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the raspberries break down. Strain the mixture to remove seeds, and let it cool.
- Frost the cupcakes generously with cream cheese frosting.
- Add the raspberry sauce over the frosted cupcakes and use the chocolate fangs to create fang marks. Enjoy your spooky treats!
Notes
Don’t overmix the batter for light cupcakes. Store frosted cupcakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
