Halloween Cupcakes using Nana's Devil Cake recipe

Image and recipe by u/zippopwnage on reddit.

Required ingredients for Nana's Devil cupcakes (15-19 cupcakes):

  • 2 cups of flour
  • 3/4 cup cocoa
    2 cups of sugar
  • 1 cup of oil
  • 1 cup of milk
  • 1 cup of coffee
  • 1tsp salt
  • 1tsp baking powder
  • 2tsp baking soda
  • 1tsp vanilla essence
  • 2 eggs

Ingredients required for Vanilla Cupcakes, around 15-18 cupcakes:

  • 2.5 cups flour
  • 2 cups of sugar
  • 3tsp baking powder
  • 1tsp salt
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1tbsp vanilla essence
  • 2 eggs

Strawberry Sauce:

  • 400gr strawberry (frozen)
  • 100-150gr sugar
    • This going to be long.

      For Nana's Devil Cupcakes: In a bowl you put the flour with cocoa, salt, baking powder, soda. In another bowl you mix the eggs with the sugar, milk, coffee, oil and vanilla essence. You put the dry ingredients in the wet ones. All at once. The recipe says to gently fold with a wooden spoon and not over mix. You will end up having lumps. I personally started to use a whisk because I had really big lumps, but I still didn't over mix and remained with some lumps. The end result was still great.

      Fill 2/3 of your cupcake paper, and bake it at 190 degree Celsius for 20-25 minutes. They're done when you put a toothpick in them, and it comes out clean.

      Now for Vanilla Cupcakes: In a bowl you put the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and mix it a little. In another bowl, you get milk, vegetable oil, vanilla essence, and eggs and combine of course. Now you add the wet ingredients to the dry ones and here, you can mix with a whisk as much as you want. Get rid of lumps.

      Fill 2/3 of your cupcake paper, bake it at 175 degree Celsius for 35 minutes or until you do the toothpick test.

      Both of these are cooked with no fan. When you pull them out of the oven, let them stay in the baking tray and paper for 5-10 minutes. Don't get them out of the paper until they are at room temperature.

      So Nana's Devil Cake/Cupcake. I did not really like them, but that's mostly because I personally don't really enjoy cocoa sweets. Don't try to combine both batters into one. I did it, but I did not mix them, maybe if you mix them it will work better, but then you're going to lose all the vanilla if you mix it.
