Devils Food Cupcakes with Marshmallow Filling

Devils Food Cupcakes are a staple in our home but then so are any cupcakes. I took this to the next level by adding a delightful filling inside. Inside we filled them with Marshmallow Fluff.

The tender insides just burst open with the extra puff of fluff!

Hope you will get the time to try these they are a sure party hit. Cupcakes, chocolate, marshmallow,  who does not love all of these ingredients!

Enjoy

Ingredients

3/4 cup butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup Dutch-process unsweetened cocoa
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 jar (7 oz.) marshmallow cream (Fluff)




In a bowl, with a mixer on medium speed, beat butter and sugar until smooth.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down sides of bowl as needed.



In another bowl sift together all the dry ingredients. Flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt.

 

I always sift together my dry ingredients so that they get a little air and the little things that tend to be in flour do not get mixed in.

Stir in half the flour mixture into butter mixture.
Stir in milk just until blended.
Add remaining flour mixture and stir just until all mixed up



Spoon batter equally into cupcake tray  (cups should be almost full) lined with paper baking cup

Bake in a 350 degree oven till the tops pop up and you can stick a toothpick in that comes out clean . It usually take 15 to 20 minutes per batch. Now take the cupcakes out and cool on a rack then after 10 minutes remove from the pan and cool completely.

To get the hole on the top so you can pipe in your marshmallow fluff take a paring knife and cut a triangle out about 1”deep






.







Now take the center out about a ½ inch from the bottom of the cupcake.

 Keep the discards you can make some cake pops with the left over or eat it.









Ok get your Fluffy Marshmallow and put in into a pastry bag or use a zip lock bag with a small tip cut out of one of the corners.

Go down to the frosting recipe I have a few pictures of how to use a bag. Now pipe it into the cupcakes.





You put the tip of the bag into the hole and pipe it into the top of the cupcakes. Try not go over the top of the cupcake so it does not mix with the frosting. You want the marshmallow to be a surprise bite.


 
Now you can frost the cupcakes I use a pastry bag but it does not matter how you frost it is so delicious.

Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting

8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
1/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
4 cup sifted powdered sugar (You can decrease this amount if you don't care about it being as stiff for piping)
1/2 cup cocoa powder










Mix cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
Mix in powdered sugar, one cup at a time.
Mix in cocoa powder

You can use a regular plastic bag to pipe the frosting on 

Yummy enjoy I put them back into the cupcake holder when I frost keeps them little guys all in a row and easier to transport for me. Use a thin knife to lift them out of the tray.




Place the bag into a bowl open the bag  and carefully put your frosting. Now cut a small tip off and frost your little heart away! 








  Enjoy these are great!
