Happy Halloween, this is really my favorite time of year. Today was my day off so I made a few last minute Halloween recipes in between running errands. I'll be posting them over the next few days. Let me start with these great orange cupcakes which didn't turn out as good as I hoped but is still a recipe you should give a try. I made ghost topped orange cupcakes and white chocolate bone orange cupcakes. The ghost top was made with a ghost cupcake pan I had and I used a bone mold for the white chocolate. All around a easy and great way to spook things up.
1 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup wheat flour
2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup + 1 Tablespoon orange juice
1 Tablespoon orange zest
1/3 cup canola oil
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Sift all dry ingredients into a bowl and set aside. In another bowl, beat together wet ingredients until well-mixed. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix with a whisk just until you have a smooth batter. Do not over mix. Divide the batter equally among 12 cupys of a standard-sized cupcake pan (or ghost pan if you have one) lined with cupcake liners. Bake in a preheated 350 F oven about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Gray Butter Cream Frosting
1/2 cup nonhydrogenated shortening
1/2 cup Earth Balance
3 1/2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 cup soy milk
black food coloring
Beat the shortening and butter together until well combined and fluffy. Add the sugar and beat for about 3 more minutes. Add the vanilla and soy milk, and beat for another 5 to 7 minutes until fluffy. Add a few drops of food coloring and mix till gray.
White Chocolate Bones
1/2 cup Vegan white chocolate chips
Melt on stove in double-boiler. Add melted chocolate to bone molds and place in fridge to allow to set.
