Ingredients

Equipment

  • muffin tin
  • mixing bowl
  • electric mixer

Directions

  1. Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place paper liners in a muffin tin.
  2. In a big bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs until the batter is smooth.
  3. Fill each liner about two-thirds full. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, testing with a toothpick—it should come out clean when done. Allow them to cool completely.
  4. Top the cooled cupcakes with buttercream that has been tinted orange, then add Halloween-themed sprinkles.
