Chocolate Milk Cupcakes with Marshmallow Frosting

By srumbel

These cupcakes turned out so good! The chocolately cupcake paired with the thick and creamy marshmallow frosting is enough to make you forget all your worries for a few minutes while you savor each and every bite. My favorite were the ones with the mini chocolate chips on top.

Ingredients

• 1 box devil's food cake mix
• 1 small box instant chocolate pudding mix
• 1 c. sour cream (I used yogurt)
• 1 c. vegetable oil
• 4 eggs
• 1/2 c. chocolate milk (or regular milk)
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips (I didn't add)
• Marshmallow Frosting
• 1 cup butter, room temperature
• 1 c. marshmallow creme
• 3 c. powdered sugar
• pinch of salt
• 2-3 tsp. vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line muffin tin(s) with 24 paper liners. Combine the cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, oil, eggs, chocolate milk and vanilla and mix well. Stir in the chocolate chips. Batter will be thick. Divide batter between muffin tin(s). Bake 20-25 minutes (mine were done at 20 minutes) or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely and frost.

Marshmallow Frosting

Cream together butter and marshmallow creme until light and fluffy. Add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating until combined. Add the salt and vanilla and beat until light and fluffy. If the frosting is too thick, add a little milk or whipping cream. Mine did not need any extra liquid, it was perfect.
