    A Dish 4 Us

    List of Ingredients




    3 cups all-purpose flour
    2 cups sugar
    1/2 cup baking cocoa
    1 teaspoon salt
    2 cups water
    1 cup vegetable oil
    2 teaspoons white vinegar
    2 teaspoons vinilla extract
    Frosting:
    1/2 cup shortening
    1/2 cup butter, softened
    4-1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
    3 tablespoons water
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1/8 teaspoon almond extract
    Black paste food coloring
    Orange and black M&M's
    Tart 'n' Tinys candies

    Recipe



    In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients.
    Combine the water, oil, vinegar and vanilla; stir into dry
    ingredients just until moistened. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin
    cups two-thirds full.
    Bake at 350 F for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out
    clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
    In a mixing bowl, cream the shortening, butter and confectioners'
    sugar. Stir in water and extracts. Remove 1/2 cup frosting to a small
    bowl; tint with black food coloring. Frost cupcakes with remaining
    white frosting.
    Cut a small hole in the corner of a pastry or plastic bag. Insert
    a small round #5 tip; fill the bag with black frosting. Decorate
    cupcakes with black frosting and candies as desired.
    Yield: 2 dozen
