Ingredients
For the cupcakes:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
For the toasted marshmallow frosting:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake tin with paper liners.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool completely.
- For the frosting, beat together the softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and heavy cream until smooth and fluffy. If the frosting is too thick, add a little more cream.
- Once the cupcakes are cool, frost each one generously with the marshmallow frosting.
- To toast the marshmallows, place mini marshmallows on top of the frosted cupcakes. Using a kitchen torch, carefully toast the marshmallows until golden brown. (Alternatively, you can place them under the broiler for a few seconds – just keep a close eye on them!)
- Serve immediately and enjoy these heavenly treats!
