Brownie Cupcakes with Marshmallow Frosting

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
• 1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp cocoa powder
• 3/4 cup butter, melted
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 Tbsp milk
• 4 large egg whites
• 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl whisk together flour, baking powder and salt, set aside. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, light-brown sugar and cocoa powder. Pour in melted butter and use a wood spoon to stir until combine. Mix in eggs and vanilla extract. Stir in milk. Add dry ingredients and mix just until combine (batter will be thick).
2. Divide batter among 12 paper lined muffin cups filling each about 2/3 full (about 1/4 cup batter in each). Bake in preheated oven 16 – 20 minutes (lesser for gooier brownies). Allow to cool in muffin tin several minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool. Cool completely then pipe Marshmallow Frosting over cupcakes and toast edges of frosting with a kitchen torch if desired.
