Ingredients
Devil’s Food Cupcakes:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter (softened)
- 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/3 cups cold water
Fluffy Frosting:
- 1/3 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 egg whites
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
To make the cupcakes:
- Line 24 cupcake tins with cupcake liners. Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
- In a bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Set the bowl aside.
- In another large bowl, beat the butter with a mixer on high for 30 seconds. Add the sugar and vanilla and continue to beat until it is well combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the bowl between additions. Add the flour mixture and the water alternately, mixing on medium-low speed until just combined.
- Fill the cupcake liners 3/4 full. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely.
To make the frosting:
- Combine the corn syrup and the sugar in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook until the sugar is dissolved.
- Meanwhile, beat the egg whites in a stand mixer until stiff. Beat in the vanilla. When the corn syrup mixture is ready, pour it in a steady stream into the egg whites while the mixer is on medium to medium-high speed. Continue to beat the frosting until the sides of the bowl are cool to the touch. The frosting will be smooth and marshmallowy.
- Frost the cooled cupcakes with the fluffy frosting using piping bag and large decorating tip.
