Marshmallow Stuffed Cupcakes
I hope this comprehensive guide has inspired you to make these fun and delicious Marshmallow Stuffed Cupcakes! They’re a perfect way to combine two classic treats into one delightful dessert.
Ingredients
Here’s a complete list of the ingredients you’ll need, with precise measurements:
- 1 box Devil’s food cake mix (plus ingredients called for on the box – usually eggs, oil, and water)
- 24 large marshmallows
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
- 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of kosher salt
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Instructions
Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with batter.
Bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Step 3: Cool and Create Wells
Let the cupcakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes.
Using a teaspoon, carefully scoop out a small well from the center of each cupcake, creating a cavity for the marshmallow. Reserve the scooped-out cupcake crumbs for garnish (optional).
Step 4: Stuff with Marshmallows
Place a large marshmallow into each well.
Step 5: Bake Again (Briefly)
Return the cupcakes to the oven and bake for about 5 minutes, or until the marshmallows are puffed and slightly melted.
Step 6: Cool Completely
Let the cupcakes cool completely to room temperature before frosting. This is important to prevent the frosting from melting.
Step 7: Make the Chocolate Frosting
While the cupcakes are cooling, make the frosting. In a large bowl, using a hand mixer, beat together the softened butter, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt until combined.
Gradually beat in the heavy cream, adding more by the tablespoon if needed, until the frosting is creamy but can hold its shape.
Step 8: Frost and Garnish
Transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with a tip of your choice (or simply use a knife or spatula to spread the frosting).
Pipe or spread the frosting onto the cooled cupcakes.
If desired, sprinkle the reserved cupcake crumbs on top of the frosting for garnish.
