Black velvet cupcake recipe for Halloween

Helen Goh shares a recipe for black velvet cupcakes topped with cream cheese icing, designed as a playful treat for Halloween. The recipe utilizes dark-chocolate and black cocoa to achieve a deep color, paired with a tangy icing.

The preparation involves blooming a cocoa and coffee paste before combining it with a batter made of flour, eggs, sugars, oil, kefir, and vanilla. Suggested decorations for a spooky theme include gummy worms, chocolate spiders, candy eyeballs, and chocolate tombstones.
