Best Chocolate Cupcake Recipe
Need a blue-ribbon chocolate cupcake recipe? After testing nearly every cupcake cookbook and recipe out there, my mom and I agreed this is the best chocolate cupcakes recipe. Period. Moist chocolate cake with just a few chocolate chips mixed in — Mmm Mmmmm!
Sometime between batches 423 and 425, we discovered another chocolate cupcake recipe with a marshmallow center– Brilliant! Only the cupcakes were hollow and hard.. a total disaster!
What to do? We used this favorite and created our own chocolate cupcake recipe by adding a large marshmallow after it comes out of the oven. Be sure to cover the marshmallow completely with frosting to keep your secret. Voila! Marshmallow Stuffed Cupcakes!
BEST CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES RECIPE
1¼ cups flour
½ cup cocoa powder
¾ teaspoon soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
¾ cup buttermilk
½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
(12 large marshmallows)
Combine dry ingredients. Beat together sugar, oil, egg and vanilla. Whisk in dry ingredients and buttermilk, alternating, begining and ending with the dry ingredients. Beat until smooth. Stir in chocolate chips. Scoop into prepared muffin pan. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until tops of cupcakes spring back lightly when touched. Let cool in pan on rack for 10 minutes; remove and cool completely on rack. Frost with Chocolate Buttercream Frosting.

Made these today for my son’s Awanas group and they are amazing! Definitely the best cupcake recipe I’ve ever made! Thank you
Ooh, you just made my day! So glad to hear you enjoyed them. Which reminds me.. I haven’t made these in a while. Time to find the marshmallows!
The marshmallow does melt a bit, but it has more to do with how long you wait after they’re out of the oven and how fresh your mallows are. I’ll typically end up with the tops sticking out and they’re still hard, but the bottom is gooey-ish. Have fun!
I tried the hard/hollow version you referred to and found the same problem. Glad to see you came up with a different idea. Did the marshmallow melt and become creamy after it was inserted into the warm cupcake or pretty much just stay as a marshmallow?
