- Preheat the oven to 180˚C/160˚C fan/gas mark 4 and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper cases.
- Beat the butter and sugar until fluffy. Gradually beat in the eggs, then fold in the flour and cocoa powder until combined. Stir through the milk until smooth.
- Fill the muffin cups and bake for 15-18 minutes until a skewer inserted into the centre of one of the cakes comes out clean.
- Transfer to a wire rack to cool and pierce each cupcake a few times with a skewer. Drain the cherries, reserving the liquid, then drizzle the liquid over each cupcake.
- Use a small, sharp knife to cut the top off each cake and scoop out a small amount of the cake from the centre.
- Chop the cherries, then fold them into the whipped cream. Stir in the vanilla. Place about a teaspoon of the mixture into the hollowed-out space. Return the tops to the cakes.
- Spread the remaining cream mixture on top of the cakes, then place them into the refrigerator.
- Roll out a sheet of ready-to-roll icing until thin. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out 12 circles. Pinch the circles up to make a ghost that is wide enough to cover the top of the cakes. Use a skewer to poke out two eyes and a straw to poke out a mouth in each. Place the ghosts on top of the cupcakes, covering the cream.
