Ingredients

Scale

Cupcake Base

  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsweetened plant-based milk (such as almond or coconut milk)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Marshmallow Filling

  • About 12 soft marshmallows (one per cupcake)

Optional Toppings and Garnishes

  • Edible gold dust
  • Chocolate shavings
  • Colorful sprinkles
  • Frosting of choice (plant-based if preferred)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake pan with liners to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda until smooth and lump-free.
  3. Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the sugar, plant-based milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well blended and slightly frothy.
  4. Create the Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cupcakes light and airy.
  5. Fill the Cupcake Liners: Spoon batter halfway into each cupcake liner. Place one marshmallow in the center, then cover with more batter until the liner is about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the edge comes out clean. The marshmallow center will remain gooey and delicious.
  7. Cool and Decorate: Let cupcakes cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Add frosting, cocoa powder, or desired toppings before serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for even mixing and better texture.
  • Do not overfill cupcake liners to allow proper rising and avoid spilling.
  • Check oven temperature with a thermometer to ensure even baking.
  • Use fresh, soft marshmallows for a perfect, gooey center.
  • Allow cupcakes to cool completely before frosting to prevent melting and preserve decoration.
