Notes
Instead of water use milk to make the eggless chocolate cupcakes richer.
Use thick and good quality cupcake liners so that the wrappers doesn't feel oily once baked.
Regular marshmallows do contain gelatin in them so if you are a vegetarian make sure you are buying vegetarian or vegan marshmallows.
Always store the frosted cupcake in the refrigerator.
