Servings 12 cupcakes
Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 50 minutes

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup (90g) all-purpose flour
  • ⅔ cup (65g) cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup (78ml) vegetable oil
  • ½ cup (120ml) milk
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

To decorate

  • 12 marshmallows
  • vanilla frosting
  • black icing
  • funfetti or sugar pearls to decorate

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C and line a cupcake/muffin baking pan with 12 cupcake liners.
  • In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, oil, and vanilla extract.
  • Stir in milk, then add the rest of the ingredients (flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt), and mix until just combined but do not over mix. They batter won't be very thick, sort of runny and that's okay.
  • Pour the batter into liners, and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. When completely cooled down, decorate.

To decorate:

  • Decorate with the vanilla frosting and put a marshmallow on each cupcake.
  • Draw faces and arms using the black icing, and make buttons out of the sprinkles/funfetti. To make the nose use fondant.
