Marshmellow Filling
While cupcakes are baking you should start on the marshmallow filling.
Marshmallow Filling:
16 ounces marshmallow cream
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup vegetable shortening
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Sift powdered sugar and salt together in separate container before adding marshmallow cream. Recipe makes a lot more than you need, you can reduce ingredients by half and still have enough. Combine remaining ingredients and stir well.
Fill a pastry bag with filling and set aside. We used a pasty filler with a bismark tip. The filling is very thick and can be difficult to use, be patient.

Chocolate Ganache
When the cupcakes come out of the oven, let them sit for 5 minutes to cool. Then insert the tip of the pastry filler into the center of each cupcake and fill with marshmallow frosting. Extra marshmallow frosting can be used to frost the tops of each cupcake. Then let the cupcakes chill for 15 minutes in the refrigerator while you make the Chocolate Ganache.
Chocolate Ganache
Chocolate Ganache:
3 ounces of bittersweet chocolate chopped
1ounce of butter
1/2 tablespoon of hot coffee or espresso
1/4teaspoon light corn syrup

All Directions
Cupcakes can then be topped with fresh fruit or chocolate shavings. Yum!
All Directions:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a 12-cup cupcake or muffin pan with paper cupcake liners.
Sift together the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
Combine and whisk the egg, milk, oil, and vanilla in a separate bowl.
Using a spatula, combine the dry and wet ingredients, alternating between the two, starting with 1/3 of the dry ingredients and ending with 1/3 of the dry ingredients. Stir until smooth, then add the very hot water and stir until incorporated. Transfer the batter to a pitcher (it is easier to pour the batter than it is to scoop, as it is very thin). Pour the batter into the cupcake pan, fill each cup 3/4-full and bake for 15 minutes. Let the cupcakes cool for 5 minutes before filling. Load the frosting into a piping bag fitted with a round pastry tip. Insert the tip into the cupcakes and fill with a little frosting, then using the same tip, frost the tops of the cupcakes. Chill the cupcakes in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to set the frosting. Drizzle the frosted cupcakes with tepid ganache.
