Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup buttermilk
• 0.33 cup vegetable oil
• 2 units large eggs
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup hot water
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 0.25 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup marshmallow creme
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup heavy cream (for frosting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Gradually stir in the hot water until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin; this is normal.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 6

Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 7

To prepare the filling, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Fold in the butter and marshmallow creme until smooth.

Step 8

Using a paring knife, cut a small cone-shaped piece out of the center of each cooled cupcake. Fill the hollow with the cream filling, then replace the cut-out piece (trim the bottom to make it fit, if necessary).

Step 9

For the frosting, heat the heavy cream (for frosting) in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour it over the chocolate chips. Let sit for 5 minutes, then whisk until smooth.

Step 10

Spread the frosting over the tops of the cupcakes. Allow the frosting to set for about 15 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Enjoy Ella's Cream Filled Chocolate Cupcakes with family and friends!
