Instructions

Make the Cupcakes

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Add vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and buttermilk, mixing until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling about ⅔ full.

Step 6

Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.

Fill the Cupcakes

Step 7

Using a small knife or cupcake corer, cut a hole in the center of each cupcake. Fill with marshmallow fluff using a piping bag or spoon.

Prepare the Buttercream

Step 8

Beat butter in a large bowl until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and cocoa powder, alternating with heavy cream, until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract.
