For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of espresso powder to the batter. If the fondant is too sticky, knead in a little more confectioners' sugar. Store decorated cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line cups with paper liners. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. (3 minutes)
03
StepIn a large bowl, cream together sugar and butter until light and fluffy using an electric mixer. Beat in egg and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually add the flour mixture alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Beat until just combined. Do not overmix. (7 minutes)
04
StepFill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with batter. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 16 to 20 minutes. (20 minutes)
05
StepRemove cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes cooling in pan + 2 hours cooling on rack)
06
StepOnce the cupcakes are completely cooled, frost each with a thin, even layer of vanilla frosting. Place one marshmallow half, cut-side up, in the center of each frosted cupcake. (15 minutes)
07
StepLightly dust a clean work surface with confectioners' sugar. Pinch off walnut-sized pieces of white fondant. Roll each piece into a thin circle, slightly larger than the diameter of the cupcakes. Gently drape the fondant circles over the marshmallows to create a ghost-like shape. (20 minutes)
08
StepUse a toothpick or skewer to poke two small holes near the top of each fondant ghost for the eyes. Insert one raisin half into each hole to create the ghost's eyes. (10 minutes)
