Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; whisk well to avoid lumps.

  6. Fill cupcake liners about two-thirds full with the batter.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean; allow to cool completely.

  9. Once cooled, frost cupcakes generously with the marshmallow frosting.
