Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips, melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- For the graham cracker crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each liner.
- For the chocolate cupcakes: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk and cooled coffee.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Stir in cocoa powder.
- Divide batter evenly among the prepared liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- For the marshmallow frosting: In a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water), combine mini marshmallows, powdered sugar, and milk. Stir until marshmallows are melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Spread or pipe the marshmallow frosting onto the cooled cupcakes.
- For the chocolate drizzle: Melt chocolate chips. Drizzle over the frosted cupcakes.
Notes
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
- Do not overmix the cupcake batter, as this can lead to tough cupcakes.
- For a toasted marshmallow effect, you can briefly torch the marshmallow frosting with a kitchen torch before serving.
