Mix flour, baking soda, sugar, and salt in a small bowl using a wire whisk. Set aside.

Mix using a spatula until combined. Let it cool
Add egg, buttermilk, and vanilla; beat on low speed for 2 minutes.

Bake

Turn the batter into the prepared pans and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. I usually start checking 15 minutes from the start of the baking process. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes and on the rack before frosting.

Add the vanilla extract and mix until incorporated.

Mix again, then add the powdered sugar and milk.
Repeat the process until the frosting is very creamy and no butter lumps are present.

How do you Store?

Properly storing your Halloween Mummy Cupcakes is essential to keep them fresh and delicious. Here’s how you can store them:

Room Temperature (Short-Term):

If you plan to consume the cupcakes immediately, let them cool down and serve.

Refrigeration (Longer-Term):

For more extended storage, it’s best to refrigerate the cupcakes. Please place them in an airtight container or wrap them individually with plastic wrap to prevent moisture loss.

Keep the cupcakes away from strong-smelling foods in the refrigerator to avoid flavor transfer.

Freezing (Extended Storage):

If you want to store the mummy chocolate cupcakes in the freezer, ensure the cupcakes are completely cooled and free of any decorations that may not freeze well, such as edible googly eyes.
Wrap each cupcake tightly in plastic wrap in a freezer-safe zip-top bag.
Label and date the container or bag.
When you’re ready to enjoy them, allow the cupcakes to thaw in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for a few hours.

Preserving Decorations:

Edible googly eyes and some icing decorations may not freeze well or become less vibrant after thawing. Consider adding fresh decorations just before serving if you’ve frozen the cupcakes.

By following these storage guidelines, you can enjoy your Halloween Mummy Cupcakes at their best, whether you plan to indulge in them immediately or save them for a later spooky occasion.
