Looking for good Halloween baked recipes?!
Hi all in Cooking and Recipes! I want to bake a cake or cupcakes this coming Friday with a Halloween theme!. I don't want it to be "out there" with sprinkles and too much iing or candies, etc!. It's mainly for adults and I'd like it to taste really good and be moist if possible!.
I was thinking of a Devils food cake batter but I want an orange icing that actually tastes like oranges!? Any other ideas!? Or elaborate on mine!? Thanks a bunch!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Cocoa Cobweb Cupcakes
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa, preferably Dutch-process
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer set on medium-high speed, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy!. Add the egg and vanilla and beat well!. Beat in the flour mixture in 3 batches, alternately with buttermilk!.
Spoon into the prepared muffin tins, filling each cup about 2/3 full!. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, 16 to 20 minutes!. Remove from the oven, let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack and let cool to room temperature!.
To make the icing, place the egg whites in a bowl!. Using an electric mixer set on high speed, beat until soft peaks form!.
