Spicy Krampus Cupcakes

For hot Krampus cupcakes preheat the oven to 185 degrees hot air.

Prepare all the necessary ingredients for the cupcakes. The butter is easier to prepare if you bring it to room temperature beforehand. To avoid lumps in the batter, sift the baking powder into the flour.

Using a hand mixer or mixer, beat the sugar and butter with a pinch of salt until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time to the batter. Mix the chocolate with the flour and fold in both.

Empty the batter into a cupcake or muffin tin lined with paper cups. To prevent the mixture from overflowing, fill the cups only about 2/3 full.

Bake in the oven for about 12 minutes. Let the cupcakes cool well afterwards, so that the further decoration sticks well.

Then decorate the cupcakes with a cream (=topping) of your choice. For the “spicy vanilla cream” variant, whisk sugar, ginger and butter until fluffy, dilute with water. Pipe on the cream with a piping bag or alternatively apply with a spoon and decorate the spicy Krampus cupcakes with Krampus decoration of your choice.

Preparation Tip:

If you want to omit the topping, simply decorate the Sharp Krampus Cupcakes with chocolate.
