Black cupcakes

These gluten free black and white cupcakes are velvety chocolate (think oreos!) with black cocoa and topped with black and white buttercream!

This recipe is based on my vegan black velvet cupcakes, so please check that out and come back here to add on the fun spooky touches. If you’re following the schedule of my black velvet cupcakes, make the chocolate skulls on Day 1 with the frosting and the green pudding filling on the next day with the cupcakes. If you don’t want to make the chocolate skulls, you can also use Halloween sprinkles to decorate the top of the frosting.

Black Velvet Cupcakes are moist and full of deep rich color and flavor. Topped with a cream cheese frosting these cupcakes are frightfully delicious!
