Cauldron Cakes (v2)« Back to List of Recipes

Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble! But not with these easy and fun Cauldron Cakes. They're so tempting they may pull your eyes away from your copy of Deathly Hallows! (Well, OK, let's be realistic here.)

Ingredients:

your favorite devils food cake batter
full-size marshmallows
muffin pan

Instructions:

Mix devil's food (chocolate) cupcake batter.
Fill muffin tins only half full.
Push a marshmallow in the center. (It will stick up a bit)
Bake as normal.
The marshmallow toasts on top, melts, bubbles all over, and leaves a cavity in the middle. (a cauldron! :))
You can fill the cavity with pistachio pudding, ice cream, frosting, candy, whipped cream, peanut butter, Fluff, jelly.... anything.
or just leave them plain.

I have also tried putting other things besides marshmallows in the center before baking... a mini Reeses peanut butter cup (yum), Rolo carmels, chocolate chips, a spoon of fudge ice cream topping, Hershey kiss... most of these sink and melt during baking and make a fudgy bottom.
