Cupcake
Prepare the Devil's Food cake mix according to the box, except substitue the water for milk, add an extra egg, and a small packet of chocolate pudding mix. Adding these things in will cause the batter to puff up more and make the texture to be fluffy and light.
Bake at the temperature the cake mix box suggests, and if you are baking the large cupcakes then bake for 20-25min or until inserting a toothpick comes out clean. If you are baking regular sized cupcakes, bake them according to the directions on the box. Let cool completely. While waiting for the cupcakes to cool make the marshmallow buttercream, link for the recipe will be below in the notes.
Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, take a small cylindrical cookie cutter, or I actually use an apple corer to make a hole in the center of each cupcake. You only want to make the hole go down halfway.
Place a marachino cherry (without the stem) in the center of each hole. Take the marshmallow frosting and prepare it in a piping bag. Pipe frosting over the top of each cherry to cover.
Take the piping bag again and pipe over the tops of each cupcake in a circular motion until the whole top is covered. Add sprinkles over the top and then top with another maraschino cherry (with stem) in the center. Serve immediately or refrigerate up to 5 days.
