Time 50m

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

250g self-raising flour
25g cocoa powder
175g light muscovado sugar
85g unsalted butter , melted
5 tbsp vegetable or sunflower oil
150g pot fat-free natural yogurt
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 large eggs
85g unsalted butter , softened
1 tbsp milk
½ tsp vanilla extract
200g icing sugar , sifted
food colourings (optional)
sweets and sprinkles, to decorate

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5 and line a 12-hole muffin tin with deep cake cases. Put all the cake ingredients into a large bowl and beat together with electric hand beaters until smooth. Spoon the mix into the cases, then bake for 20 mins until risen and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out dry. Cool completely on a rack. Can be made up to 3 days ahead and kept in an airtight container, or frozen for up to 1 month.
  • For the frosting, work the butter, milk and vanilla into the icing sugar until creamy and pale. Colour with food colouring, if using, then create your own gruesome monster faces using sweets and sprinkles.
