Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins & Toppings

  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips or chunks
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows or ½ cup marshmallow fluff
  • ½ cup graham cracker crumbs
  • Additional chocolate chips or melted chocolate for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with paper liners. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar. In a separate bowl, combine the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until the batter is smooth and well blended.
  2. Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the mini chocolate chips into the batter, distributing them evenly to ensure delicious bursts of melty chocolate in each cupcake.
  3. Bake the Cupcakes: Spoon the batter into the lined cupcake tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs. Remove from the oven and allow cupcakes to cool completely.
  4. Prepare the Marshmallow Topping: While the cupcakes cool, toast mini marshmallows under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching closely to achieve a golden brown finish. Alternatively, spread marshmallow fluff on each cupcake and lightly brown with a kitchen torch to replicate that campfire effect.
  5. Assemble and Garnish: Frost the cooled cupcakes with the marshmallow topping. Generously sprinkle crushed graham cracker crumbs on top for crunch. Optionally, add extra chocolate chips or drizzle melted chocolate over the cupcakes for an enhanced flavor and appearance.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to help the batter come together smoothly and bake evenly.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense cupcakes; mix until just combined.
  • Measure ingredients accurately to ensure perfect results, as baking is a precise science.
  • Toast marshmallows carefully in short bursts to prevent burning and achieve a golden brown finish.
  • Choose quality chocolate for richer and more flavorful cupcakes.
  • Allow cupcakes to cool completely before adding the marshmallow topping to prevent melting and maintain a clean presentation.
