Easy S'mores Cupcakes

Substitutions

If you don’t have a premade chocolate cake on hand, you can easily make one using a boxed mix or your favorite homemade chocolate cake recipe. For a homemade version, whisk together eggs, flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, and a cup of buttermilk to create a smooth batter. Use a stand mixer if you have one to make mixing easier, and be sure to add a pinch of salt and a splash of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
Instead of actual marshmallows, you can use marshmallow frosting or marshmallow fluff to top the smores cupcakes. It is easier and there is no need to broil it.

Variations

You can top the Smores cupcakes with chocolate ganache or chocolate buttercream frosting for an extra chocolatey taste! Yum!

Storage

If you have any leftover Easy S'mores Cupcakes (though we doubt you will!), they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

If you prefer to keep them longer, you can put them in the fridge for up to 5 days. To enjoy them at their best, warm them in the microwave for a few seconds before serving.

Top Tips

Keep a close eye on the marshmallows when broiling. They can burn quickly, so it’s important to watch them the entire time.
Allow the cupcakes to cool slightly in a wire rack before adding the marshmallows. This prevents the marshmallows from melting too quickly and helps them stay puffy.
Need a cold dessert fix? Top the marshmallow with your favorite flavor of ice cream!

Instructions

Before starting off with the mixing process, make sure to preheat oven to 350F and line your muffins pan with cupcake liners. Let's begin!

Frequently Asked Questions

How to increase moisture in cupcakes?

To increase moisture in cupcakes, you can add ingredients like sour cream, yogurt, or even a little bit of canola or vegetable oil to the batter. These ingredients help keep the cupcakes soft and moist.

How to make cupcakes not dry?

To keep cupcakes from being dry, make sure not to overbake them. Set a timer and check them with a toothpick. If it comes out clean or with just a few crumbs, they’re done. Also, using enough butter or oil in the recipe helps keep them moist.

Can this be made into a cake?

Definitely, yes! You can just bake it as a "whole" and have a delicious S'mores cake!
