Ingredients
Before we dive into the recipe, let's gather all the necessary ingredients:
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- 12 chocolate bars (such as Hershey's)
- 1 ½ cups crushed graham crackers
- 2 cups marshmallow fluff
Instructions
Let's get started with the step-by-step instructions:
Step 1: Preparing the Cupcake Batter
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with paper liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder, and sugar. Mix well.
- Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat until the batter is smooth and well-combined.
- Add the boiling water to the batter, gradually pouring it in while stirring continuously. This will make the batter thinner.
- Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with the batter.
- Place a piece of chocolate bar into the center of each cupcake, pressing it gently into the batter.
Step 2: Baking and Assembling the Cupcakes
- Bake the cupcakes in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
- Using a knife or cupcake corer, create a small well in the center of each cupcake.
- Fill each well with a spoonful of marshmallow fluff.
- Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers on top of each cupcake, pressing them gently into the marshmallow fluff.
- If desired, toast the marshmallow topping using a kitchen torch for that authentic campfire taste.
