Ingredients

☕ Earl Grey Milk

  • ½ cup whole milk
  • 2 tsp Earl Grey’s Anatomy Tea

🧈 Earl Grey Buttercream

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 3½ cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2½ Tbsp Earl Grey Milk, room temperature
  • Pinch of salt

🧁 Death By Chocolate Cupcakes

  • 1 (15.25 oz) box Dark Chocolate Cake Mix
  • 1 cup brewed Death By Chocolate Coffee
  • 3 eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips
  • Sugar candy eyes, for decorating

Method

For the Cupcakes:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, Death By Chocolate Coffee, eggs, and oil.
  2. Line cupcake pan and fill each liner ⅔ full with batter. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips over the top.
  3. Bake 18–20 minutes, then cool completely before frosting.

For the Earl Grey Milk:

  1. Warm milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until it simmers. Remove from heat and add Earl Grey’s Anatomy tea.
  2. Steep 10 minutes, then strain and cool. Store up to 3 days in the fridge.

For the Earl Grey Buttercream:

  1. Cream butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar, ½ cup at a time, scraping down the bowl.
  2. Add Earl Grey Milk, vanilla, and salt. Mix on low until smooth and creamy.

To Decorate:

  1. Spread a base layer of frosting over cooled cupcakes.
  2. Pipe crisscrossing “bandages” over each cupcake, leaving a small gap for eyes.
  3. Press in two candy eyes and chill for 10 minutes before serving.

Tips

  • Use flat or ribbon piping tips for the best mummy effect.
  • Swap candy eyes for white chocolate chips dotted with melted chocolate.
  • Keep cupcakes refrigerated until serving to hold their shape.
