Triple Chocolate Cupcakes. Chocolate cupcakes get filled with a chocolate marshmallow frosting and topped with a rich chocolate glaze. Maybe the best chocolate cupcakes ever.

Triple Chocolate Cupcakes
This triple chocolate cupcakes recipe is one I invented with my daughter Olivia when she was very young. She had her first filled cupcake from a bakery and wanted to know how to get the frosting inside. I tried to explain that they used a decorators piping bag but like all little kids, showing her was much better than telling her.

I didn’t want a really heavy filling so I decided to make a chocolate version of the marshmallow frosting both my kids love on our Black and White Cake. That turned out very well as a filling but it is very important to sift the cocoa well and fold it in gently.

This filling looks great, can't wait to try it! I think you may have left the word cocoa out of the instructions though but I was able to figure it out : )
