Now you can make homemade hostess cupcakes right in your own kitchen! These are just like the kind I grew up with but so much better because they are made from scratch with my moist, fudgy, chocolate cupcake recipe, stuffed with a creamy marshmallow filling and topped with a smooth rich chocolate glaze, and the nostalgic white squiggles on top.

♡♡♡ THE RECIPE! ♡♡♡
Cream-Filled Chocolate Cupcakes

Chocolate Cupcakes:
1 cup (200g) granulated white sugar
3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons (105g) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder, dutch processed or dark
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup buttermilk (or 1/2 cup milk mixed with 1 1/2 teaspoons vinegar)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup boiling water

Filling/Squiggle:
1/2 cup shortening or softened butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cup powdered sugar
1 cup marshmallow creme
1-2 Tablespoons heavy cream
Chocolate Glaze:
1/4 cup cream
4 ounces (⅔ cup) semisweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon butter


Directions
Cupcakes:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a cupcake pan with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt. In a measuring cup lightly whisk together buttermilk, oil, egg, and vanilla. Using a whisk or wooden spoon, gently stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients, just until incorporated. Stir in the boiling water. Batter will be very thin and runny.


Distribute all of the batter, filling almost up to the top, between all of the baking cups. Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool completely on a wire rack before filling and frosting.


Filling/Squiggle:
While waiting for cupcakes to cool, make the filling. Beat butter on medium speed until creamy. Add vanilla. Reduce the speed to low and beat in powdered sugar until combine. Add 1-2 tablespoons of cream and beat on medium-high for 1 to 2 minutes, until light and fluffy. Set aside about 1/2 cup in a sandwich bag with the corner snipped off, for the squiggle on top. Beat in marshmallow creme to the remaining mixture, until creamy and smooth. Place in a plastic sandwich bag and snip off the corner.


Glaze:
Heat cream for 1-2 minutes in the microwave just until it starts to get hot bubble, without actually boiling and bubbling over (you can also do this in a small saucepan over the stovetop). Immediately pour over chocolate chips and butter in a shallow bowl. Add butter. Let sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until smooth. Let cool and thicken for a few minutes.


Assemble:
Once cupcakes are fully cooled, fill the centers with marshmallow filling and dip the top of each cupcake in the glaze to coat the entire top. If glaze gets too thick, microwave it for a few seconds and give it a stir to thin it out again. Chill dipped cupcakes in refrigerator for 15 minutes or until the glaze is set. Pipe the squiggles across the top of each cupcakes and enjoy.
