  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 egg whites
  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • Chocolate chips for eyes

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners.

  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  9. Let the cupcakes cool completely.
  10. For the meringue frosting, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
  11. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
  12. Pipe the meringue onto the cooled cupcakes to create ghost shapes.
  13. Use chocolate chips to create eyes on the meringue ghosts.

Notes
