Hot Chocolate Cupcakes

  1. Make the chocolate ganache in advance.
  2. Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 400u0b0F.
  3. I use silicone baking cups so I don't need to dust the baking pans with oil and flour.
  4. Place the cake mix, water, oil, eggs, vanilla, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl. Blend with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds.
  5. Stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Increase the mixer speed to medium and blend 1 1/2 to 2
  6. minutes more, scraping down the sides again if needed. The batter should look well combined and thickened.
  7. Spoon or scoop 1/3 cup batter into each prepared cup, filling it three quarters of the way full. (You will get between 22 and 24 cupcakes.)
  8. Drop a heaping teaspoonful of
  9. ganache onto the top of the batter in each cup.
  10. Place the pans in the oven.
  11. Bake the cupcakes until the cake bakes up around the ganache, the tops are domed, and the cupcakes spring back when lightly pressed with your
  12. finger, 12 to 14 minutes.
  13. Add marshmallows on top and return to the oven to bake another 5 minutes. The marshmallows should brown nicely, but be sure to place something underneath the cups in case the marshmallows melt and slide off (shouldn't happen with mini marshmallows).
  14. Remove the pans from the oven and place them on wire racks for one minute. Run a dinner knife around the edges of the
  15. cupcake cups, lift the cupcakes up from the bottoms of the cups using the end of the knife, and pick them out of the cups carefully with your fingertips.
  16. Store these cupcakes, in a cake saver or under a glass dome, at room temperature for up to onr day. To reheat so the centers are molten once again, place the cupcakes on a microwave-safe plate and cover with paper towels. Heat on high power for 10 seconds, carefully remove, and serve.
