Instructions

For the crust:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 cupcake tins with paper liners and set aside.

  • 4. Bake 8 minutes. Set aside. 

For the cupcake:

  • 1. Whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, and cocoa powder in a medium bowl or measuring cup. Set aside. 
  • 2. Combine the butter and 1 cup sugar into a mixing bowl, or the bowl of an electric mixer, and stir until light and fluffy. About 3 minutes. 
  • 3. Stir in the melted chocolate. 
  • 4. Add the eggs, one at a time, followed by the egg yolks. Stir until incorporated. 
  • 5. Scrape the sides of the bowl Add the oil, vanilla, and sour cream. 
  • 6. Scrape the side of the bowl again, and stir in the dry ingredients with the water until just incorporated. 
  • 7. Divide the batter over the prepared graham cracker crust, filling 2/3 full. 
  • 8. Bake 13 to 15 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
  • For the frosting: 
  • 1. Add the soft butter with the marshmallow cream into a mixing bowl. Mix with a handheld or stand mixer until incorporated. 
  • 2. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Stir until combined. 
  • 3. Pipe or spread onto your cool cupcakes. 

Notes

Optional frosting idea: IF you wanted, you could replace the frosting with one large marshmallow. Place directly on top of the cupcake and broil for 10-ish seconds, or until toasted. Watch closely!
