Marshmallow Filled Chocolate Cupcakes

I have been on the look out for a yummy chocolate cupcake recipe since the chocolate cupcakes that I made for my daughter's birthday turned out way too dry... So, I had to try these out! I especially liked the idea of a marshmallow filling!! I just found the cutest tool that works AMAZING to core out cupcakes and I was excited for a chance to try it out. It worked like a charm and I found it for a couple of bucks on Walmart... So in love with this new tool! These cupcakes were fabulous, even without the marshmallow filling and I will definitely be using this chocolate cupcake recipe for my go to recipe!! Don't fret if the batter seems super runny, I panicked a bit, but they turned out awesome!

My youngest turned three this year and while I made this awesome three cake for his actual birthday, I made this fun tractor "cake" (made out of cupcakes) for his birthday party. It turned out super cute and everyone loved it! So, while I would normally use a chocolate frosting with these cupcakes, I had to go with a frosting that I could tint... Don't worry, I won't leave you hanging - that recipe is up tomorrow!

P.S. I have made these cupcakes a few times since this party and I paired them up with this chocolate frosting recipe... Too fabulous for words!! I have gotten so many compliments and requests for them and they are SO easy!!
