Delicious homemade chocolate cupcakes topped with fluffy frosting.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup marshmallow fluff
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat sugar, eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing until just combined.
