- 2 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup hot water
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 3 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoon vanilla
Frosting
- 1 ½ cups softened butter
- 2 cups vegetable shortening
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon of Pumpkin Spice
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoon extremely hot water
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
Decorations
- Piping bag or resealable bag
- dark chocolate chips 1 per cupcake

Instructions
- Get out and measure all of your ingredients.
- Preheat the oven to 325°F.
- Fill a regular sized cupcake tin with plain white cupcake liners, set aside.
- In a large bowl, add in all of the dry ingredients and mix to combine.
- Pour the vanilla into the hot water.
- Add the oil, milk, and eggs and water/vanilla mixture to the dry ingredients.
- Mix until everything is combined.
- Use a measuring cup or spoon to scoop batter into each of the lined cupcake cavities. Only fill each cavity approximately ½ - ⅔ the way full.
- Bake in a preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. Check to see if they are cooked all the way through by inserting a toothpick into one of the cupcakes, if the toothpick pulls out without any raw batter (a few crumbs are OK) then the cakes are done.
- Remove from the oven and set aside to cool completely.
- While the cupcakes are cooling you can make the spiced vanilla frosting.
Spiced Vanilla Frosting
- Get out and measure your ingredients.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, whip the butter and vegetable shortening until light and fluffy.
- While the butter is whipping, add the pumpkin spice, vanilla, and salt to the extremely hot water. Let this sit for 2-3 minutes.
- When butter has been whipped, add in half of the powdered sugar and mix on medium speed.
- While it is mixing, stream in the water mixture.
- Once combined, mix in the remaining powdered sugar.
- Whip until all is combined and light and fluffy.
- Transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with a large round piping tip. Or you can use a resealable bag and snip off one of the bottom corners.
- If the frosting is too soft to pipe, put in the fridge for 5-10 minutes to cool down.
- Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, pipe the frosting onto each cupcake as seen in pictures.
- Place one of the chocolate chips, pointy side in - flat side out, onto the frosting where you want the mouth of the ghost to be.
- Then place the eyes above the mouth. Point the eyes in various directions to get different personalities!
- Set finished cupcakes in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the frosting set up.
- Optional, add a fun cobweb cupcake sleeve for a cute finishing touch!
- Serve or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days inside your fridge.
