Directions
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Ensure your cupcake tins are properly greased or lined with cupcake wrappers. I highly recommend using Halloween-themed liners for added effect.
In a large bowl, combine sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make sure the ingredients are well mixed to maintain an even flavor in the cupcakes.
Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla to your dry ingredients. Beat using a mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes. While mixing, pour in boiling water gradually. Now your batter might seem thin, but don't fret - that's exactly the consistency you want for perfect, moist cupcakes.
Carefully pour the batter into the cupcake tins until they're about two-thirds full. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remember, everybody's oven may vary slightly, so keep an eye on the cupcakes to prevent them from over-baking.
Once done, remove them from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely. A well-cooled cupcake will hold the frosting better.
For the frosting, beat together the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, orange food color, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
Once the cupcakes are cool, frost them generously. Decorate with Halloween sugar spider decorations.
Voila! Your delicious 'Spider Cupcakes' are ready for your Halloween party.
