Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a cupcake pan, or grease it.
Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder in a bowl and whisk until evenly combined and no more lumps exist.
Combine the eggs, yogurt, oil, vanilla, and sugar in another bowl and beat until smooth.
Fold the dry into the wet ingredients until a chocolate batter forms and no more streaks of flour are present.
Scoop into the cupcake liners and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Immediately remove to a cooling rack to let them cool completely.
Make the frosting by first beating the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla together until smooth.
Add the powdered sugar in once cup at a time, beating between additions, until a thick frosting forms.
Fit a lattice weave piping tip onto a piping bag and fill it.
Pipe from one edge of the cooled cupcake across to the other, making a line across the middle at a slight angle.
Repeat going the opposite way to form an X. Layer on more lines, leaving a small gap for the eyes.
Press the eyes into the remaining gap between the 'mummy wrapping', using a small dot of frosting to stick them if needed.
Refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 1 week. They can be brought out to room temperature 1 hour before serving if desired.
