S'mores Cupcakes

My oldest daughter made her first batch of cupcakes from scratch today. She got the recipe from a book she read called It's Raining Cupcakes. They were delicious. Here's the recipe!

 

Cupcakes

1 cup flour

3/4 cup sugar

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/3 cup water

3 T. Unsweetened cocoa

1 egg, lightly beaten

1/4 cup buttermilk

Icing

1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1/2 tsp. vanilla

1 7oz. Jar marshmallow cream

12 Hershey kisses

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line muffin tins with cupcake liners.

In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar and baking soda together with a whisk. In a saucepan, melt the butter with the water and cocoa on low heat. When completely melted, remove from heat.

Whisk egg in a separate bowl and add to flour mixture, along with the melted butter mixture and buttermilk.

Fill cupcake liners 2/3 fill. Bake for 18-20 minutes. Let cool completely before frosting.

For frosting, beat softened butter, powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Add marshmallow cream and mix. Spread on cooled cupcakes.

Crush graham cracker squares and sprinkle on cupcakes. Top with Hershey kiss.
