Description

Vanilla cakes topped with marshmallow frosting then dipped in dark chocolate coating.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE CUPCAKES:
  • 1-¼ cup All-purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 2 whole Large Eggs, Room Temperature
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • ½ cups Canola Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • ½ cups Buttermilk, Room Temperature
  • FOR THE MARSHMALLOW FROSTING:
  • 1-¼ cup Sugar
  • 3 whole Egg Whites
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Tablespoon Water
  • FOR THE CHOCOLATE COATING:
  • 1 cup Dark Chocolate Chips
  • 1 Tablespoon Canola Oil
  • Candy Sprinkles, For Topping (optional)

Preparation

For the cupcakes:
Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a 12-count muffin tin or line with muffin liners.

In a large bowl, sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix well.

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix eggs and sugar until well combined. Gradually add oil and vanilla, mix until just blended.

With the mixer on low, slowly add half the flour mixture; mix until just blended. Add the buttermilk, mix until just blended. Slowly add remaining flour mixture, scraping down sides of the bowl with a spatula, as necessary, until just blended.

Divide batter evenly among prepared muffin cups. Transfer muffin tin to oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer muffin tin to a wire rack and let cupcakes cool completely.

For the frosting:
In a large heatproof bowl, combine sugar and egg whites. Using a handheld electric mixer, beat on high speed until foamy for 1 minute. Set bowl over a pan of barely simmering water (make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water). Beat on high speed until frosting forms stiff peaks, about 10 minutes.

Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and water, and beat for another 2 minutes until frosting thickens.

Transfer frosting to a large pastry bag fitted with a wide plain pastry tip and pipe frost the cupcakes.

Place frosted cupcakes in freezer for at least an hour.

For the chocolate coating:
Combine chocolate and oil in a medium heat-proof bowl. Set bowl over a medium saucepan of barely simmering water (make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water) and stir until melted and smooth. Transfer to a small bowl, and let it cool slightly.

Take the cupcakes out of the freezer. Grab each cupcake from its bottom, dip the top of the cupcake in the chocolate to coat the frosting and let excess chocolate drip off. Place on a serving plate and decorate with sprinkles.

Let cupcakes stand at room temperature for 5 minutes to harden the chocolate coating.
