½ cup All-purpose flour
½ tsp. Baking powder
½ tsp. Ground cinnamon
½ tsp. Table salt
¼ tsp. Baking soda

½ cup Buttermilk

ASSEMBLE, SPREAD

1 recipe Chocolate Ganache and Marshmallow Topping

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with liners.

The Cupcakes

whisk together graham crumbs, flour, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a bowl.
Cream butter and sugar in a bowl with a mixer on medium speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing after each addition until incorporated.
Mix in molasses and vanilla.
Alternately add graham mixture and buttermilk (starting and ending with the graham mixture) until combined.
Fill each muffin cup two-thirds full with batter. Bake cupcakes until a toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean, 25–30 minutes; cool in pan 5 minutes. Transfer cupcakes to a rack to cool.
To assemble, spread 2 tsp. Chocolate Ganache over top of each cupcake, then pipe on Marshmallow Topping.

Notes

Per cupcake with ganache and topping, Calories: 369

Paper cupcake liners work best for these cupcakes. Foil liners trap moisture, resulting in gummy, soggy cupcakes.
If you’d rather not make your own marshmallow topping, substitute with 2 cups marshmallow creme.
