Yields 12
Ingredients
- 1 cup (140g) flour
- ½ cup (50g) cocoa
- 1 cup (200g) sugar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup oil
- 1 tsp instant coffee dissolved in
- ¾ cup warm water
- Buttercream
- 1 cup butter/margarine
- 3 ½ cup confectioners’ sugar
- 2-3 Tbsp milk/non-dairy creamer
- Red and yellow food coloring
Topping
- Mini marshmallows on toothpicks
- Chocolate “Rock/Stone” Candies
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350/180. In a large mixing bowl whisk together the dry ingredients.
- Add in eggs, vanilla, coffee and oil. Mix until combined.
- Pour batter into cupcakes cups filling ¾ of the way to the top.
- Bake for 25 minutes. Remove cupcakes from oven and let cool completely.
- Make Buttercream: In the bowl of a standing mixer beat butter with confectioners sugar. Add in milk as needed to get a creamy frosting. Split the frosting into 2 bowls and color one bowl red and the other yellow. Fit a large piping bag with a large star tip. Using a spatula fill one side of the piping bag with the red buttercream and the other side with the yellow frosting.
Notes
- Decorate the cupcakes: Place “rock” candies in a circle on the top of the cupcakes. Pipe a dollop of red & yellow buttercream in the center of the rocks and top with the mini marshmallow skewers.
- Happy Baking!
