A favorite campfire treat turned cupcake! Moist chocolate cake is topped with marshmallow frosting and graham cracker crumbs. Get crazy and add some mini marshmallows, chocolate chips and syrup!
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a muffin pan with 12 liners and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, espresso powder and salt. Set aside.
2 cups all purpose flour, 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon espresso powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt
In a large bowl, mash avocado to make it as smooth as possible. You can toss it in a food processor to get it really smooth if you’re low on time (or energy).
1 cup avocados
Add flour mixture and stir to combine.
Now add sugar, water and vanilla, stir to combine until smooth.
1 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup hot water, 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Using a 1/4 measuring cup, pour batter into cupcake liners until almost full. Bake for 17-20 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean, and the tops should be cracked a bit and spring back when touched. Set on wire rack to cool completely.
Marshmallow Frosting
Place egg whites, sugar and cream of tartar in a double broiler over a simmering pot of water.
3 egg whites, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
Whisk constantly until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is foamy.
Pour egg white mixture into a large mixing bowl and whip on high speed with a whisk attachment until it forms stiff peaks.
Pipe frosting onto cooled cupcakes and garnish with crushed graham cracker and chocolate sauce. Enjoy!
