To make 12 Witch Hat Cupcakes, you will need the following ingredients:

For the cupcakes:

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup whole milk

For the chocolate witch hats:

- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 12 sugar cones
- Black fondant
- Yellow fondant
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, until the batter is smooth.
Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cupcake liner about 2/3 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool completely before decorating.
To make the chocolate witch hats, melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Dip the sugar cones into the melted chocolate, making sure to coat the entire cone. Place the cones on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let them cool until the chocolate hardens.
Roll out the black fondant and cut out circles that are slightly larger than the base of the sugar cones. Place the circles on top of the cones and press down gently to adhere. Roll out the yellow fondant and cut out small rectangles for the buckles. Place the rectangles on top of the black circles and press down gently to adhere.
Once the chocolate witch hats are ready, place one on top of each cupcake. Serve and enjoy!
These Witch Hat Cupcakes are a spooky and delicious dessert that will impress your guests. The cupcakes are moist and chocolatey, while the witch hats add a fun and festive touch. This dish is perfect for Halloween parties and gatherings.
