Magical Witch Hats

Chocolaty Vegan Halloween Cupcakes with a Colorful Magic Potion Filling

50 Min.

Preparation

1. Prepare the Cookie Dough:
Preheat the oven to 180 °C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix flour and salt, work in vegan butter until crumbs form. Knead in cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and soy yogurt until a firm dough forms. Shape into a roll approx. 11.5 cm long, divide into 8 pieces. Flatten on the baking sheet inside a 7.5 cm cookie cutter. Bake for 15 minutes and let cool completely.

2. Bake the Sponge Cake:
Grease and line a baking form (16.5 × 7.5 cm). Cream vegan butter and sugar until fluffy. Stir in plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar, and applesauce. Briefly fold in flour and baking powder. Divide the dough into four parts, dye each part (each color represents a secret ingredient from the witches' potion). Pour the four colors side by side in stripes into the form. Bake for approx. 25 minutes, test with a toothpick, and let cool completely.

3. Mix the Glaze:
Melt couverture chocolate and let cool. Beat vegan butter until creamy, stir in vegan cream cheese. Work in powdered sugar, cocoa, and chocolate. Fill into a piping bag with a 0.5 cm nozzle.

4. Assemble the Cupcakes:
Cut 2 circles out of each color using the 4 cm cookie cutter. Slightly trim the edges to form small cones. Glue the cones onto the cookie bases using vegan chocolate spread. Pipe the glaze in a spiral, tapering to a point at the top. Smooth with a spoon or knife.
