Peanut and I are currently at the house awaiting the trick-or-treaters. When they arrive, they'll be greeted with UNFROSTED vanilla cupcakes (I "out-foxed" the Peanut, tinted them orange, and made them into punkin' faces with chocolate chips), candied apples, and hot Percolator Punch. I've typed recipes below! Enjoy, and if you scroll to the end, you'll see a picture of Peanut in her purple wig!
Vanilla Cupcakes:
4 cups cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon table salt
2 sticks salted butter, softened
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 large eggs, at room temperature
2 cups plain Greek yogurt
1 bag Nestle Toll House Semi-Sweet Morsels
Orange food coloring
Cream together the butter and the sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs in, one at a time. Add vanilla and Greek yogurt. Continue to mix batter. Make sure to scrape down bowl. Add baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add flour slowly. Add food coloring until desired color is reached.
Bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes, rotating halfway through. Remove from oven and place chocolate chips on cupcakes.
Percolator Punch:
1 pt. cranberry juice
1 pt. orange juice
1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. whole allspice
1 tsp. whole cloves
3 cinnamon sticks
Combine cider and both juices in automatic percolator; place sugar, allspice, cloves and cinnamon in percolator basket. Allow to go through heating cycle; serve hot.
Have a safe one, dear friends! I'll leave you with this:
