My 13-Year-Old’S Chocolate Cupcakes

• FOR THE CUPCAKES:
• 1 cup Boiling Water
• 1/2 cups Cocao Powder
• 1 cup Butter, Room Temperature
• 1 cup Sugar
• 2 whole Eggs
• 1-1/3 cup Cake Flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
• 1/2 teaspoons Salt
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla
• _____
• FOR THE FROSTING:
• 1 cup Butter, Room Temperature
• 1 cup Icing Sugar
• 1 jar (7 Oz. Jar) Marshmallow Fluff

1. In a bowl, whisk boiling water and cocoa powder and set aside to cool.
2. In your mixer, beat butter until fluffy. Add in the sugar and beat more (so I am told). Add in the eggs, one at a time while mixing, as well as the vanilla (ok, I guess I contributed, I cracked the eggs; somehow he always manages to get shells in things).
3. In a bowl add together all of the dry ingredients and then mix them into the butter mixture just until incorporated. Finally, stir in the cooled cocoa mixture.
4. Fill baking cups 2/3 of the way and bake in a preheated oven (350u0b0F) for 16-18 minutes. Let cool and then frost.
5. For the frosting:
6. Mix butter until fluffy and then add the icing sugar and fluff. Beat at high speed until light and fluffy. Put into a pastry bag or Ziploc with a corner cut to pipe onto the cupcakes.
7. Pretty simple, huh?
