Follow these simple steps to create your spooktacular Bloody Cupcakes:

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

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and buttermilk. Mix until well combined.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.

Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Allow the cupcakes to cool completely on a wire rack.

Once cooled, frost the tops with chocolate frosting, then drizzle or spread the red frosting on top to create a 'bloody' effect.

If desired, add edible blood for an extra spooky touch!
